Within the framework of the 17th National Radio Festival - Quang Ninh 2026, the Voice of Vietnam Radio Station is organizing the art program "Sounds of the New Era".
Competing in live radio broadcasting competitions and attending the opening night with the concert "Sounds of a New Era" are among the most anticipated activities at the 17th National Radio Broadcasting Festival.
On the morning of April 7th, Mr. Do Tien Sy, Member of the Central Committee of the Party, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department, and Director General of VOV, inspected the preparations for the 2026 National Radio and Television Festival.
The 7th National Radio Festival was marked by seven outstanding new features, bringing a fresh and modern look to radio broadcasting in the digital age.
Thirty participating units competed in the live radio broadcast competition, and many entries closely followed current events and were relevant to daily life at the 2026 National Radio Festival.
The detailed schedule of activities for the 4th National Radio Festival will take place from April 11-13 with the theme "Radio for a strong and prosperous Vietnam".
Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department, Party Secretary, and Director General of VOV, Do Tien Sy, affirmed: "From April 1st, the Voice of Vietnam Radio has entered a new chapter in its history."
This year's festival has many new features, such as the first-ever Podcast competition; the organization of an international seminar; the presence of international judges; and the participation of online news organizations.
VOV is a public service unit of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, placed under the direct and regular leadership and guidance of the Politburo and the Secretariat.
The Politburo issued a decision assigning and appointing Mr. Do Tien Sy, a member of the Central Committee of the Party, to the position of Director General of the Voice of Vietnam Radio, concurrently holding the position of Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department.
Strengthening and reorganizing key national media agencies in accordance with the Party's policy is a correct and necessary decision in the context of fierce competition in digital media.
The transfer of VTV, VOV, and VNA to the direct control of the Central Party Committee reflects a shift in the Party's leadership thinking regarding ideological and media work.
People's Artist Thanh Hoa, Hoa Minzy, Truc Nhan, and many other singers will participate in the concert as part of the 17th National Radio Festival - Quang Ninh 2026.
