Panasonic_Awards
The Panasonic Gobel Awards (formerly Panasonic Awards), are the annual awards presented to television programs and performances in Indonesia based on a people's choice poll. The first award was held in 1997 in partnership with Tabloid Citra and aired on Indosiar. Media Nusantara Citra began conducting the awards in 2000 and its broadcasting rights were held by RCTI. In 2003, TPI and Global TV also began televising the awards.
In 2004, Tabloid Citra stopped polling and instead started using survey data from Nielsen Media Research with the results tabulated and audited by Ernst & Young.
In 2013, MNC Channels also began broadcasting the Panasonic Gobel Awards. In 2017, UseeTV and iNews also began broadcasting the Panasonic Gobel Awards.
The event was handed over to other broadcaster since then. In 2018, TVRI took over the Panasonic Gobel Awards. Following the presence of the 2016 Indonesian Television Awards, MNC decided to end the contract with Panasonic Gobel Awards after 2018. In 2019, Indosiar took back the awards – which was the last edition to be held.
The awards were discontinued after 2019.[citation needed]
