Teknowarta – JAKARTA — Iman Brotoseno, the esteemed President Director of Indonesia’s Public Broadcasting Institute Television Republic Indonesia (LPP TVRI), officially tendered his resignation on Monday, February 23, 2026. This significant announcement was made during a crucial weekly meeting, drawing attention across the nation’s broadcasting landscape.
The resignation was conveyed by Brotoseno himself during a hybrid session held at the Operational Support Building (GPO) of LPP TVRI in Jakarta. The meeting saw the full attendance of TVRI’s board of directors, heads of work units, and managers from TVRI broadcasting stations nationwide. Brotoseno cited pressing health concerns as the sole reason behind his decision, emphasizing a personal commitment to his well-being.
“I have decided to step down to dedicate my full attention to my health. I want to make it unequivocally clear that this decision was not influenced by any political pressure or threats of violence. My resignation is purely for health reasons,” Brotoseno stated in a public announcement quoted on Monday, February 23, 2026, assuring stakeholders of his transparent motives.
The timing of Brotoseno’s departure is particularly noteworthy, especially given TVRI’s recent acquisition of the coveted broadcasting rights for the FIFA World Cup 2026. This landmark achievement will see TVRI airing 104 matches over 39 days, a testament to the institution’s growing stature in the public broadcasting sphere. Brotoseno later expressed a profound regret at missing the opportunity to watch the World Cup games alongside TVRI employees, a tradition he valued.
Agus Sudibyo, Chairman of the LPP TVRI Supervisory Board (Dewas), extended his deepest appreciation for Brotoseno’s unwavering hard work and dedication during his tenure as President Director. Sudibyo also called for calm and unity among all TVRI employees, urging them to remain focused on their respective duties and collective mission. “Let us continue to work diligently to jointly uphold the vital function of our public broadcasting institution,” Sudibyo remarked, reinforcing the importance of stability during this transition.
The LPP TVRI Supervisory Board has confirmed that it will promptly process Iman Brotoseno’s resignation. This will be conducted in strict adherence to Government Regulation No. 4/2024, which amends PP No. 13 of 2005 concerning LPP Televisi Republik Indonesia, as well as the Supervisory Board Decision No. 1/2024 on the operational framework of the Supervisory Board and TVRI Board of Directors. In line with these regulations, a session will be convened within a maximum of 14 days following the receipt of the resignation letter to formally approve or reject the request.
Social media platforms have already seen the circulation of a video recording featuring Brotoseno’s resignation announcement during an online meeting with TVRI’s leadership. In the video, he candidly shared, “Indeed, this is very surprising, but I have had extensive discussions with my family, and with the Supervisory Board, and we all agree this is the best decision for me.” He further expressed optimism for TVRI’s future, hoping to one day witness the institution evolve into a world-class television network, and looked forward to potentially reconnecting with TVRI staff in different capacities in the future.
Brotoseno’s tenure as President Director of LPP TVRI commenced in May 2020. He was appointed as an interim replacement following the Supervisory Board’s decision to dismiss the previous head of the state-owned television station, Helmy Yahya. His appointment was publicly announced via the verified @TVRINasional Twitter account on Wednesday, May 27, 2020, stating, “Head of LPP TVRI Supervisory Board Arief Hidayat Thamrin, today May 27, 2020, appointed Iman Brotoseno as Director of LPP TVRI [PAW] for the 2020-2022 period on the 3rd floor of the GPO LPP TVRI building.”
