VTV1 is a state-owned Vietnamese-language news channel and also the first television channel of Vietnam Television. It has evolved from a general news, sports, and entertainment outlet to a 24/7 all-news station since the 1990s when other VTV channels were introduced.
On June 15, 2011, VTV1 shifted to a 24/7 channel offering news, politics, and current affairs.
VTV1 is seen as one of the "essential television channels" in Vietnam, legally required to be distributed by television providers in the country. As a government-controlled channel, it primarily airs news and content favorable to the Vietnamese government.
