The network has a strong focus on cultural programming, such as a wayang performance (which no longer aired) and dangdut talent shows. It has recently featured occasional sport programmes and television series.

Indosiar also airs Indonesian animated cartoons, including Keluarga Somat (Somat's Family), broadcast since June 2013 (until the sister network Mentari TV take over the broadcasting rights in 2021).

Other popular Indosiar programs include musical drama series like Melangkah Di Atas Awan; singing competitions such as Akademi Fantasi Indosiar, the most popular singing talent search in Indonesia; Supersoulmate Show, Mamamia, and Stardut.
