In 1991, the channel was criticized by the Muslim community of Surabaya for airing Wonder Woman which, according to newspapers, focused "unduly on the physical attributes of women", and an episode of Wok with Yan involving the preparation of a pork dish, both during Ramadan. The station took Wonder Woman off the air until the end of Ramadan and apologized for the specific episode of Wok with Yan. Station manager Mohamoad Noer demanded that SCTV would review its programming following the scandal. Television series made in western countries gave SCTV an impact, whose signal at the time went as far as villages in Banyuwangi.
On 18 February 2011, the commissioners of its parent companies Indosiar and SCTV agreed to a merger, although this was subject to government approval due to both companies going public. In 2014, SCM won the lawsuit in an attempted merger which had previously been hampered by taxes.
