History

On 3 December 2010, the Prime Minister of Vietnam Nguyễn Tấn Dũng approved the establishment of the People's Public Security Television.

During the press conference announcing the founding of the TV channel on 8 January 2011, Lieutenant General Nguyễn Khánh Toàn, Deputy Minister of Public Security, expected this cooperation would help the new TV channel to move towards financial autonomy, independent of the state budget. The channel was on a test broadcast from 00:00 on 1 December 2011 and officially broadcast from 20:30 on 11 December 2011.

On 8 January 2014, ANTV officially launched its official website www.antv.gov.vn after 6 months of testing.
