Abstract

Co-modification of religion has been penetrating on commercial television in Indonesia for long time. The program produced by Indosiar “Mamah dan Aa Beraksi”, “Islam itu Indah” launched by Trans TV, a soap opera entitled “Tukang Bubur Naik Haji” played on RCTI, an Indian serial film entitled “Jodha Akbar” and imported Turkish Film “Abad Kejayaan” played on ANTV, and similar drama entitled “Cermin Kehidupan” played on Trans 7 are some examples of the programs. Based on the observation and writer’s thought, it was found that the preacher, contents of program, even the audiences includethe religion into the program and it was interrupted with capitalism. In the other hand, Religion should be avoided from this case
