This condition actually has been studies the effects of television are focused around good effect improved by introducing Law number 32 of 2002, which in communicator, message and even the media. article 20 stated that: private broadcasting institutions can only execute one (1) broadcast with 1 (one) channels broadcast at 1 Departing from these figures, the media and their (one) coverage broadcast area. interaction with the audience become so important to always be criticized. Media in practice is the space where ideology But the presence of the new rules shortly telecast fought for a place in the minds of audiences. Who fought in decentralization is not necessarily able to directly turn off the the media life becomes trivial to see power. Who is able to relay stations in the area, since the national private TV utilize its power in influencing the media? How big is the operator was still given the leeway to adjust for 3 (three) power play in the practice of the media? In other words, the years. Even in article 60 paragraph 3 was given more leeway media is not just simply a communication channel but also as for 2 (two) years until the advent of local TV stations affiliated an institution that has been part of the community with the (networked) with him. "Broadcasting Agency already has a ideological struggle inside. relay station, prior to the enactment of this law and after the expiration of a period of adjustment, they can organize 3. Critical Political Economy broadcasting station reality, until the establishment of the local Study critical political economy has three main variants: stations are networked to the Broadcasting Agency that the the instrumentalists, structuralism and constructivist.

If anything, what happens is not an affiliate, but the Structuralism analysis tends to see the structure as something acquisition. monolithic, well-established, static, and determinants. And constructivist analysis, as a result of the contradiction between 2. Definition of Broadcasting System the instrumentalist and structuralist analysis. Constructivist view the structure as a rudimentary and moving dynamically. Broadcasting system in Indonesia has been the (Mosco, 1996: 24). centralization, and created many problems. Centralized television system as is the case today typically occurs in For Mosco, there are three entry concept in economic- countries with authoritarian country, which is characterized by political-media, among others (see 1996: 141-245): a concentration of power. It was generally only take place in countries that are not developing a commercial television 1. Commodification, namely the use of goods and services system, and do not have large areas with heterogeneous views of usefulness are then transformed into a commodity cultural character which is owned by Indonesia. Causing the that is judged by what it means in the market. There are broadcasting industry be fair and equitable, not create several forms of commodification that we should democratization and autonomy and the empowerment of local understand. The first modification of the contents, the broadcasting in all regions in Indonesia. There are 12 process to change the message and set of data into the television stations in Jakarta to broadcasting nationally by system of meaning into products that can be marketed. For only using relay stations / transmitter in each region. In this example, in a TV show created programs into one package system, broadcast fully prepared, created and transmitted the product with advertising that can be marketed by the centrally from Jakarta to the homes of residents throughout the media. Second, the audience commodity is defined as the region in Indonesia with only brokered the relay stations in mass media results in a process where the media company each area. Thus what was seen by the public television media producing audiences and handed it to advertisers. Media throughout the region in Indonesia is fully determined by the programs used to attract audiences. Advertisers pay media station located in Jakarta, of course, one might almost say the companies to access the public, therefore the audience form of centralizing the broadcast media have ignored local "handed over" to corporate advertisers.
