Abstract

This study examines the disruptive influence of conflicts of interest on the governance of public frequencies, focusing on the case of the Republic of Indonesia Television Public Broadcasting Institution (LPP TVRI) in the democratic era. By employing a qualitative analysis through case studies and theoretical frameworks within a political economy perspective, the research highlights the intricate dynamics between stakeholders, including regulatory bodies, the government, and the public, in the management and policy-making processes of public broadcasting. Findings reveal persistent internal conflicts within LPP TVRI, notably between the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors, and external pressures from government and political entities, all of which hinder the realization of public broadcasting ideals such as pluralism, independence, and public accountability. The study underscores the challenges of maintaining a public broadcasting system free from political and economic interests, pointing towards the necessity for a more robust regulatory framework and genuine institutional independence. Recommendations include the strengthening of public participation and oversight to ensure the integrity and independence of public broadcasting governance in Indonesia.
