History

Hanoi Radio Television was established on October 14, 1954, four days after the capital was liberated. A fixed radio station was installed at Thủy Tạ Information – Exhibition House with simple technical facilities, laying the foundation for the later development of Hanoi Radio Television.
In October 1977, celebrating the 23rd Capital Liberation Day and the station's founding anniversary, Hanoi Radio Station broadcast its first radio program on AM. Since then, the voice of Hanoi Radio has been available not only in the city, but also all over the northern provinces and a part of the central region of Vietnam.
At 14:00 on January 1, 1979, the first Hanoi television program was broadcast on Vietnam Television with a new image and the familiar "Hanoi people" song used as intro music.
On August 25, 1989, the Hanoi City People's Committee issued a decision to change the name of Hanoi Radio Station to Hanoi Radio Television, recognizing the Station as the city's audio and video media outlet.
One year later, on July 14, 1990, the Ministry of Culture and Information licensed Hanoi Radio Television to broadcast the television program in the morning. It has gradually affirmed its position in the national press system.
