<![CDATA[The increasing presence of religious content in broadcasting media has raised concerns about regulatory compliance, especially in areas with a significant number of religious broadcasting institutions. West Java, as Indonesia's province with the most broadcasting facilities, provides a relevant context for examining compliance among religious broadcasters. This study analyzes compliance patterns, types of violations, and regulatory interventions related to religious broadcasting in West Java from 2021 to 2024. Using a qualitative case study design, data were gathered through document analysis, observations, interviews, KPID West Java monitoring reports, violation records, and regulatory documents. Participants and sources were purposefully selected, and the data were analyzed thematically and validated through triangulation. The findings indicate that, of 476 broadcasting institutions in West Java, 32 adopted religious formats, including two television stations and 30 radio stations. Most violations occurred between 2021 and 2022 and included issues such as discriminatory policies, inaccurate broadcasts, unbalanced reporting, and content that could incite social conflict. In response to these violations, KPID West Java enhanced enforcement efforts through written warnings, clarifications, collaborative partnerships, and the issuance of Circular Letter No. 1 of 2022 on religious broadcasting content. Following these interventions, no violations were recorded in 2023, while only one case emerged in 2024, underscoring the importance of sustained supervision and collaboration]]>
