Data collection techniques used are literature study, documentation and interviews. The analysis technique uses historical data analysis techniques.
The results of this study is: (1) The background for the establishment of the Solosche Radio Vereeniging (SRV) is Mangkunegara VII's attention to technological developments during his reign (1916-1944). The production of radio broadcasts, which was initially carried out simply with limited resources, led Mangkunegara VII to order the establishment of a special agency for radio broadcasting. SRV was officially established on April 1, 1933 and raised the content of Javanese art broadcasts (2) Mangkunegara VII's policy in advancing SRV broadcasts was to provide used transmitters from Djockjasche Radio Vereeniging to Javaansche Kuntkring Mardiraras with callsign PK2MN which became the forerunner of SRV; Mangkunegara VII donated a plot of land to build a studio which was used for broadcasting purposes; Mangkunegara VII participated morally and materially for the sake of the SRV broadcast program by providing broadcast content in the form of klenengan regularly on Wednesdays and Wireng's lessons every Tuesday. (3) SRV played a role in preserving Javanese arts, especially during the reign of Mangkunegara VII through radio broadcast programs in the form of klenengan, wireng lessons, langendriyan, shadow puppets, wayang orang, Macapat song lessons, reading Mahabrata and Ramayana books, and ketoprak. Thus the SRV becomes a forum for artists to display their work as well as entertain listeners on the islands of Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali and West Nusa Tenggara. SRV broadcasts can even be caught up to the Netherlands with Shortwave technology. SRV also inspired the establishment of indigenous radio associations in other areas and participated in establishing Eastern Radio Association (PPRK).
