Jakarta – Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) chairman Dadang Rachmat Hidayat said that as per November the commission had received 20,000 complaints on television content, a more than 200 percent increase from last year.

"The number of people filing complaints has grown dramatically. Last year we received just 7,500 complaints," kompas.com quoted Rahmad as saying at a discussion themed the Controversy of Media Content in the Press Freedom Era in Jakarta on Monday.

However, he stressed that not all the media content was journalism products. "Only 4 percent of complaints concerned news content while 80 percent of complaints related to TV gossip programs," Rahmad said.
