WIB stands for Waktu Indonesia Barat (Western Indonesia Time), a time zone abbreviation.
Western Indonesia Time, UTC+7, used on Sumatra, Java (including Jakarta) and western and central Kalimantan. Indonesia has three zones: WIB, WITA (UTC+8) and WIT (UTC+9).
Example: Live broadcast at 19:00 WIB from Jakarta.
Usage notes
Central Indonesia Time (WITA) covers Bali, Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara, and Eastern Indonesia Time (WIT) covers Maluku and Papua. Indonesia does not observe daylight saving. Bali's resorts therefore run an hour ahead of Jakarta, a detail travelers often miss when booking domestic flights.
