To complete the third phrase of ceasing analogue terrestrial television on December 31, 2017, Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Truong Minh Tuan requested relevant agencies to step up communications in the field.

Da Nang was the first locality in Vietnam and ASEAN to complete the digitalisation of terrestrial television broadcasts. The city replaced analogue with digital terrestrial TV from November 1, 2015.

Digital terrestrial TV has been broadcast across Hanoi, Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh City, and Can Tho.
