VTV4 is a Vietnamese state-owned pay television network, serving as an international channel of Vietnam Television. Launched on January 7, 1998, it offers the three domestic channels to the Vietnamese diaspora worldwide. From March 31, 2018, Vietnam Television stopped broadcasting the channel on foreign satellites.[1]
VTV4 is also available over-the-air in Vientiane, capital of the ideologically-aligned state of Laos.[2]
History
VTV4 conducted test broadcasts starting on January 1, 1995, leasing one hour (21:45-22:45) on a transponder on the Russian Gorizont 25 satellite.[3][4]
Full broadcasts began on January 1, 1998, under the title "Program for compatriots away from home and of compatriots from all around the world",[5] covering all of Asia and parts of Europe for two hours a day, from 12am-2am Vietnam time, using the Measat 1 satellite, which then used it to relay to Thaicom 3. On February 3, 1998, the VTV4 Editorial Programming Department was created, subordinate to the Editorial Secretariate (present-day Department of programming).
On April 1, 1998, coinciding with the separation of VTV3 to an independent channel, VTV4 doubled its airtime, running from 00:00-04:00. On April 27, 2000, VTV4 started covering the entire world, by launching on Telstar 5, in order to cover North America.[6] From 1 January 2002, the airtime doubled again to eight hours (00:00-08:00),[7][8] and at the same time, it started delivering its coverage to the Hot Bird satellite to better serve Europe.[9]
According to Decision n.º29 of Prime Minister Phan Văn Khải of February 7, 2002, VTV4's Editorial Programming Department was split from the Editorial Secretariate and became the Editorial Council for International Affairs.[10] In 2004, the Editorial Council for International Affairs was renamed Television Council for International Affairs.
On May 15, 2005, VTV4 went broadcasting 24 hours a day, maintaining the 00:00-08:00 block as it was but adding two repeats after that, forming an eight-hour wheel, to cater to a vast array of timezones (though initially the 24-hour feed was limited to Thaicom 3).[11] On June 20, 2009, the eight-hour wheel was discarded and a new 24-hour schedule was introduced.
On June 22, 2015, VTV4 started broadcasting in high definition on VTVCab, two days before VTV made its launch official.[12]
At 00:05 Hanoi Time on March 31, 2018, VTV halted all broadcasts of the channel on foreign satellites: Thaicom 5, Eutelsat Hot Bird 13B, Hispasat 30W-5, Galaxy 19.[13]
Following the launch of Vietnam Today on September 7, 2025, all foreign language news services on the channel ended and were transferred to the newly-launched channel. In line with this, VTV4 only started carrying news in Vietnamese (12:00 and 21:00 Hanoi Time) and decided to dedicate more airtime to original programming in Vietnamese to better cater the diaspora, following the model of international channels.
