History

Before the creation of MQTV, Daarut Tauhiid Foundation operated a radio station, MQFM, founded in 2001.

MQTV was founded on 22 June 2002,[https://www.mqtv.co.id/ MQTV official website]. Retrieved 02 July 2020. originally as a production house specializing in lectures by Aa Gym as well as other Islamic programming. In 2003 MQTV had 5 managers, 23 animation staff, and 18 administration and production staff; and the MQTV brand was increasingly recognized.{{cite web |title=("PT.

MQTV entered terrestrial television by signing on a station on 1 May 2006, after a trial broadcast on 28 October 2003. The station could be considered the first Islamic-based television station in Indonesia{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}, albeit on a local scale (the first Islamic-oriented station/network/channel was intended to be a national-scale Global TV).
