Lintas (TV program)

Lintas (Across) is the name used for MNCTV newscast programs since 1995, prior to the adoption of the Lintas iNews name in 2017.

History
Lintas (Across) was created by Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana. In TPI's early days, the network also aired the more humanities-oriented Serbaneka, which aired in the evening and several times experienced changes in airtime. Serbaneka was broadcast as a form of additional TPI broadcast hours until evening, although at that time the TPI night broadcast was still very limited to the viewers, especially outside the reach of the single transmission station area of TPI. Besides Serbaneka, the program Selamat Pagi Indonesia (Good Morning Indonesia) was also aired, which is the TPI morning news program. The network also aired TVRI's news programs Bisnis Hari Ini and Berita Pagi.

After four years of broadcasting Serbaneka, TPI replaced the program by presenting news Lintas Siang and Lintas Sore, starting in July 1995. A year later, the Lintas Siang and Lintas Sore program was merged to form Lintas 5, so called because it aired every day at 17.00 WIB.

Starting in 1997, Lintas 5 began broadcasting news taken from the air by helicopter, to facilitate faster presentation of news to viewers.

On 1 November 2017, coinciding with all MNC-owned newscasts being rebranded to feature the iNews branding, MNCTV's newscasts became Lintas iNews.
