Voice of Vietnam
The Voice of Vietnam is the Vietnamese national radio broadcaster. Directly run by the Ministry of Finance alongside the Vietnam Television and the Vietnam News Agency, VOV is tasked with promoting the policies of the Communist Party and the laws of the state.
Prior to 1945, the Vietnamese were banned from owning radio receivers,[citation needed] and broadcasting was under the control of the French colonial government, which established the first radio station in Vietnam, Radio Saigon, in the late 1920s.
Vietnam's national radio station, now called the Voice of Vietnam, started broadcasting from Da Lat just a week after the declaration of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam with the declaration "This is the Voice of Vietnam, broadcasting from Hanoi, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam," followed by the playing of "Destroy Fascists", a patriotic anthem of the August Revolution, which serves till today as the official anthem of the radio network. During the Vietnam War, Radio Hanoi operated as a propaganda tool for North Vietnam. In August 1968, Voice of Vietnam commenced shortwave broadcasts for Vietnamese living abroad.
South Vietnam set up its own network in Saigon in 1955 from the roots of the ex-State of Vietnam's station, named Radio Vietnam. Meanwhile, in 1962, the NLFSVN established their radio station, Liberation Radio Station.
During the early years, VOV has been criticized from commentators of Europe and America. Following reunification, all of the radio stations were combined into the Voice of Vietnam, which became the national radio station in 1978.
In 1990, VOV launched the first FM station of the network, with the original frequency at 100.0 MHz. At first, this station was dedicated to music, entertainment and information program. It later become the flagship frequency of the news and generalist station, whereas the music content was transferred into the FM frequency of 102.7 MHz - which is the music station VOV3 at present.
The Vietnamese-language program for Vietnamese diaspora was first transmitted on 16 August 1991 on longwaves and shortwaves, following the foreign language programs since the founding of the radio network's external service. At the same year, the socio-culture oriented station VOV2 was established.
In 1998, Radio the Voice of Vietnam published its first daily newspaper, named Voice of Vietnam. At the same time, the first FM radio channel for the foreign community in Vietnam, operated-and-owned by VOV World Service, was inaugurated. The station transmitted at the frequency of FM 105.5 MHz in Hanoi and 105.7 MHz in Ho Chi Minh City. The following year, VOV expanded its platform with the launching of the news webpage www.vovnews.vn.
