History

Signal testing for this station began in November 2007 in English and Oriental languages.[1] Once testing was complete, they've started their broadcasting activities with their "Radio Saigon" format.
Sometime in October, Radio Saigon has moved to KRVA 1600 AM to make way for its current format.
