Knvergensi Studio is not only limited to audio studio, but combine audio, video, and text. Meanwhile Visual Radio is the radio display like broadcast television. Both will be supported by optimizing DAB + transmitters which broadcast with digital RRI.

The launch was inaugurated by the Director General of Communications and Public Information (KIP) of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Ms Niken Widiastuti in RRI Building, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Jakarta.

Herman Zuhdi, Head of LPP RRI Jakarta, said that this transformation is to prove to the media that RRI radio is not outdated and added that “It is one pillar against public stigma that qualified RRI as an old school. With a program like this, RRI surely jumps far behind radio –an unprecedented transformation RRI is experiencing”.
