- Abstract
In 2022, Indonesia migrated its television broadcasts system to digital, opening up opportunities for new players to enter public television scenery. This study explores the use of Unreal gaming engine-powered Virtual Set systems for small broadcasters. The results show that they can use it to produce television shows that meet recent broadcast standards. The methodology used was case study of Fatwa TV, a small broadcaster, using observations and interviews. The results show that aside from technical matters, two other key concerns must be resolved before these broadcasters may enter the digital television broadcasting industry: licensing and operational issues, which could come at a large cost, especially for broadcasters who are not dependent on advertising. Streamlining should be included in the licensing and multiplexing procedures, and broadcasters should be encouraged to accept advertising to ease their entry into the digital broadcasting market, even if it means sacrificing some of their independence.
