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.[1][2]
In October 1977, celebrating the 23rd Capital Liberation Day and the station's founding anniversary,[3]: 56 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.
