Since 2016, VTV5 has expanded its programs through its operated-and-owned local channels under the VTV5 banner. The first was VTV5 Southwest, which relaunched in 2016, originally belonging to Vietnam Television Center in Can Tho. The second is VTV5 Central Highlands, which broadcasts programs aimed at ethnic minorities residing in the Central Highlands.[citation needed]
Although the main broadcast of VTV5 is directed towards ethnic minorities, several sports events (e.g. football matches) and movie series have also been spotted being broadcast on the channel in Vietnamese, during the time periods not reserved for ethnic minority languages.[citation needed]
