VTV6 was a Vietnamese state-owned television network of Vietnam Television, which launched in 2007. It served the purpose of entertaining youth-oriented audiences and the sports events in Vietnam.[1]

Although VTV6 was operated by Youth Department, several programs produced by Department of Sports Programs Production (present day Sports Television Center) were mostly broadcast on this channel since 2015, so it was also known as a live broadcast of sports events of VTV, especially Vietnamese sports events or major big events.

VTV6 officially ceased to broadcast on 10 October 2022, making place for a national channel aimed at Mekong Delta Region audiences - VTV Can Tho.[2] It would be relaunched as a sport channel on 8 June 2026.[3]

[edit]

VTV6 was originally mentioned for the first time in the development plan of Vietnam Television in the period 2006 - 2010 with the original orientation to be a specialized channel for sports. It was launched in 2007. In 2008, VTV6 Youth Center was officially renamed as VTV6 Youth Department.

In the early days, the channel's coverage was very limited. The channel was tested on VCTV10 (present-day VTVcab 10) and then broadcast in analog on broadcast channel. It was not until 29 April 2009, that the channel was broadcast in the South, then officially broadcast nationwide on 7 September 2010. At the same time, VTV6 also improved the quality of content and increase the broadcast time from 12 hours a day to 18 hours a day from 1 November 2010.

From 1 January 2013, the channel increased broadcasting time to 24 hours a day. This is the sixth channel of VTV to broadcast 24 hours a day.

From 7 September 2013, VTV6 became the second channel of VTV to be broadcast in HD, and the first channel of VTV to broadcast in full HD.

On 12 January 2018, VTV6 separated the Children's Board from the Youth Department. VTV6 officially entered a new movement called "The Digital Generation 2018", deciding to aiming at the "digital generation" born between the year of 1985 and 2000. Since that time, television programs for children on VTV6 were officially transferred to the educational channel VTV7.[4]

On 8 September 2022, Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Bình Minh signed Decree No. 60/2022/ND-CP on the functions, tasks, powers and organizational structure of Vietnam Television. Accordingly, VTV has been restructured, in which the Youth Department - the management board of VTV6 - will be dissolved.[5] As a result, VTV6 would officially cease to broadcast on 10 October 2022 and is replaced by for a national channel aimed at Mekong Delta Region audiences - VTV Can Tho (present-day VTV10).[6][7]
