Ho Chi Minh City Television

Ho Chi Minh City Television, also known as HTVC and HTV, is a state-owned entity headquartered in Vietnam. Founded in 1966, the company employs approximately 100 individuals and reported $52.5M in revenue as of 2024, functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer. While its main product is telecoms, it operates as a vertically integrated mass media television studio and public broadcasting corporation, with its headquarters located in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The enterprise was established on May 1, 1975, under the ownership of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, emerging through the reconstitution of the former Republic of Vietnam's THVN9 station following the Fall of Saigon. It functions as a regional broadcaster in southern Vietnam and the country's second-largest state-run media network behind Vietnam Television (VTV), operating under the executive leadership of General Director Cao Anh Minh. The studio maintains an extensive proprietary intellectual property repository spanning over five decades of regional documentation, television journalism, and domestic entertainment. Its public broadcasting catalog and multi-channel franchise library include the nightly current affairs bulletin 60 Giây (60 Seconds), the cultural music bridge Thay Lời Muốn Nói, the HTV Cycling Tournament, and the Vầng Trăng Cổ Nhạc theatrical series, alongside localized adaptations of global formats such as Deal or No Deal, So You Think You Can Dance, and Odd One In.
