Seputar Indonesia (translated as Around Indonesia) was Indonesia's longest-running flagship newscast carried by a private television network. It debuted for the first time on the newly inaugurated RCTI on 15 November 1989 as the local news program Seputar Jakarta (Around Jakarta), as well as the network's first newscast before it evolved to go nationwide on 15 November 1990. Since the end of 2005, the program has regained its position as the most-watched newscast in the country, according to ratings by Nielsen Media Research. During its early years, Seputar Indonesia was also carried by RCTI's then sister network SCTV.

On 9 February 2009, Seputar Indonesia was revamped and was the only news program on RCTI, under an initiative called Satu Seputar Indonesia (One Around Indonesia). The morning news program, Nuansa Pagi was renamed Seputar Indonesia Pagi. The lunchtime news program, Buletin Siang renamed Seputar Indonesia Siang. The late-night news program, Buletin Malam was renamed Seputar Indonesia Malam. The main evening edition retained the Seputar Indonesia name due to the historical context.
On 1 November 2017, along with rebranding that includes the iNews brand for MNCTV and GTV newscasts, it was replaced by Seputar iNews.
Historically, it was also broadcast by SCTV before the network produced its news program, Liputan 6 respectively.
