Vietnam Television (Vietnamese: Đài Truyền-hình Việtnam,[1][2] abbreviated THVN[3]), sometimes also unofficially known as the National Television (Đài Truyền-hình Quốc-gia[1]), Saigon Television (Đài Truyền-hình Sàigòn[1]) or Channel 9 (Đài số 9, THVN9), was one of two national television broadcasters in South Vietnam from February 7, 1966, until just before the Fall of Saigon on April 29, 1975. It was the first television broadcaster in Vietnam.[4]
THVN9 was operated by the Vietnamese Bureau of Television (Nha Vô-tuyến Truyền-hình Việtnam[1]), part of the General Department of Radio, Television, and Cinema (Tổng-cuộc Truyền-thanh Truyền-hình và Điện-ảnh[1]) in the Ministry of Propaganda.[5] Vietnam Television broadcast from the capital Saigon on channel 9 (4.5 MHz) in FCC-standard black and white.[4][6] However, from 1972, all important events were broadcast in color as standard.[7]
The other national broadcaster was the English-language Armed Forces Vietnam Network or NWB-TV on channel 11.[8] Both channels used an airborne transmission relay system from airplanes flying at the high altitudes, called Stratovision, as part of Operation Blue Eagle.
