THE VOICE OF VIETNAM - VOV World

The Voice of Vietnam (VOV) is a multimedia organization and government agency which disseminates Vietnam's Party guidelines and State laws, contributing to the people’s enhanced intellectual standards and spiritual lives.

VOV was established immediately after the 1945 August Revolution. Its first program was aired at 11:30 AM on September 7, 1945, with the signature phrase: “This is the Voice of Vietnam, broadcasting from Hanoi, capital of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam”.

At 11:30 AM on July 2, 1976, this phrase was changed to: “This is the Voice of Vietnam, broadcasting from Hanoi, capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam”.
