Purpose:
To provide training facilities and equipment while developing talented people who will conduct training in order to improve the function of developing broadcasting engineers who will be involved in radio and TV broadcasting in Indonesia.

Outline:
Indonesia is a vast country made up of many islands rich in geological and cultural diversity. Radio and TV have been playing a significant role in spreading the Indonesian language as a common language and promoting national unification and modernization. To that end, the Indonesian government has drawn up a plan to expand the broadcasting networks throughout the country under which there was a plan to build a radio and TV training center out of the need to develop broadcasting engineers.

To that end, the Japanese government put in place a training course to teach everything from the basics of broadcasting to practical operation, developed instructors and so forth by providing the facilities and training equipment to develop the engineers to do the radio and TV training and dispatching many specialists. The number of trainees kept increasing: 72 in 1985, 204 in 1992 and 252 in 1998 and thus far more than 2,700 trainees have completed the training at MMTC, who are now active in TVRI, a public TV broadcasting company, formerly nationally owned TV station, RRI, a public radio broadcasting company, formerly nationally owned radio station, as well as private TV and radio broadcasting, contributing to improving the quality of the Indonesian radio and TV broadcasting.

In 2003, with the cooperation of the Japanese government, the broadcasting equipment at MMTC was changed from analogue to digital which has enabled the center to continue training using state-of-art equipment.

MMTC is the only facility in Indonesia where broad training in everything from the basics of broadcasting to practical operation is possible and that the center is becoming even more important and sought after.
