RuaiTV has launched three news service channels for its audiences in Indonesia on 15 February 2012. Since the coverage of RuaiTV is limited, to reach out more audiences not only to get the news but also to submit the news, RuaiTV has developed RuaiSMS, RuaiSwara and Swara Publik.

“We have social responsibility to serve indigenous people communities and communities in remote areas who have no access to main news outlets and have never been reported. Through mobile technology, we can reach out them easily to bridge the information gap,” said Stefanus Masiun, the Director of RuaiTV after he formally launched the services.
