Vietnam has a National radio station - Radio of Vietnam, was born in 1945, and has a network of 63 local radio stations. In 1999, The Voice of Vietnam began to apply Internet technology to produce and distribute all radio programs on vov.vn. 35/63 Vietnamese local radio stations have integrated on the Internet up to now. In 2013, Vietnam Radio website (Radiovietnam.vn) officially launched, integrating the programs of 11 radio stations. In addition to radio stations, many Vietnamese online newspapers and print newspapers have also produced their own online radio programs and posted on their websites. Vietnamese press agencies have taken advantages of Internet platform to produce the Internet radio program formats as follows: 1. For radio stations: - Live streaming: is popular program format at The Voice of Vietnam; but only 12/35 local online radio stations have this type of program. - Replay radio program: is the most popular program format in Vietnam. - On - demand radio: is the least popular program format in Vietnam. - Multiple-media broadcasting: has not been focused on to produce in Vietnam. The current multimedia broadcasting programs are just at the simplest level and produced by The Voice of Vietnam. At local stations, there is no multimedia radio program. 2. For online newspapers: Vietnamese online newspapers produce the radio programs by method: news -> read -> record to files -> upload online. In Vietnam today, in addition to radio on Internet-connected computers, mobile radio application has also been widely used. The Internet and telecommunications technology have become good infrastructure for radio. In- depth research on Internet radio and Internet technology application in Internet radio production is particularly necessary in Vietnam currently.
