The logo of NET., used since 2013 until 2024; it last appeared along with the MDTV logo for on-air purposes until the entire rebranding to the latter's name on 28 February 2025.

In 2012, PT Net Mediatama Indonesia was established. In March 2013, the company acquired PT Televisi Anak Spacetoon (Spacetoon) by purchasing 95% of its shares before the company was wholly acquired in May 2013. On 18 May 2013, NET started its trial broadcast using Spacetoon's frequencies on terrestrial television, limiting the latter broadcast to pay television.[5]

Programming previously aired by Spacetoon was broadcast on a programming block called "NET Playground" or "NET Toon" that aired on weekday afternoons until the block ceased to air a year later, and returned on 15 December 2018 to broadcast Cartoon Network shows, previously carried by Trans TV from 2016 to 2018.[6]

On 3 April 2015, NET officially became the main sponsor of the football club Persija Jakarta for two years, during the 2015 Indonesia Super League.[7] The following day, the network was announced as major sponsor of Persija's rival Persib Bandung, also for two years.[8]

Previously, the Premier League was broadcast on NET. during 2019-2021 season succeeding TVRI that use license from Mola TV (until 2022) and then SCTV held them since 2021.[9]

NET. received a Suspension on Debt Payment Obligation (PKPU) claim from 25 November 2020 by Bambang Sutrisno.[10] Bambang withdrew the PKPU on 4 December 2020 after NET. paid the Rp2.5 billion debt.[11] Another PKPU claim, this one from PT Seribu Layar Sinema, was withdrawn in January 2021 after NET. paid the Rp13.7 billion debt.[12]

In October 2024, MD Entertainment, a production company owned by Manoj Punjabi, has expanded into broadcasting business by acquiring 60.98% shares of NET.[13] This acquisition led to entry of Manoj and his wife Shania to the board of directors on 10 October.[14] On 5 November, Manoj, Shania, and Dian Adhitama collectively resigned as the director general, the commissioner general, and the independent commissioner, respectively.[15] Two days later, Manoj officially announced the renaming of its legal name from PT Net Visi Media Tbk. into PT MDTV Media Technologies Tbk. after agreement during an extraordinary meeting of shareholders.[16] On 28 February 2025, NET was eventually rebranded as MDTV.
