Indonesia

Both MW-AM and VHF-FM have been respectively tested in Jakarta and Surabaya. The MW-AM station is a full operating religious broadcast network. The VHF-FM station was part of an HD Radio trial in Jakarta. Further testing in 2007 is expected.

The private AM radio 1062 Surabaya is said to have restored AM broadcasting in Indonesia with the installation of a Broadcast Electronics (BE) transmission system broadcasting HD Radio technology on 1062 in Surabaya, Indonesia. The medium-wave HD Radio system was installed on Radio Sangkakala in April 2006, 15 years after private AM stations in Indonesia migrated to FM, virtually abandoning the medium-wave band.

The broadcaster is a religious group affiliated with Bethany Assembly of God, which purchased three adjacent frequencies and began HD Radio broadcasting in hybrid mode from the center frequency, at 1062 kHz. Radio Sangkakala owner and operator Pohan E. Harliman reported excellent medium-wave analog coverage and exceptional “FM-like” quality signals.
