'ANteve' goes western?

'ANteve' goes western?

From Jayakarta

Criticisms have been launched against the use of foreign words for names of real estates, entertainment facilities etc., and appeals are made to change those foreign words into Bahasa Indonesia. But, that is not the case with ANteve. They continue to air foreign programs using foreign words.

This should be deplored. Why should the appeal for using Bahasa Indonesia be directed only to developers of real estates, shops and entertainment facilities? Is ANteve an exception?

Imagine, from morning till midnight, about 80 percent of ANteve's programs is imported stuff. In spite of the translation made in Bahasa Indonesia, we still have the impression that western flavor dominates their programs.

I wonder what the Center of Bahasa Indonesia Development has to say about this matter?
