Truyền hình Vĩnh Long (THVL) is a provincial state-owned television broadcaster headquartered in Vĩnh Long, Vietnam, operating under the legal entity Báo và Phát thanh, Truyền hình Vĩnh Long. It holds paid broadcasting License No. 166/GP-BTTTT issued by Vietnam's Ministry of Information and Communications on April 26, 2019. The broadcaster serves general Vietnamese audiences with a particular focus on the Mekong Delta region, addressing demand for local news, regional cultural programming, Vietnamese-language entertainment, and children's content.

THVL operates five free-to-air channels — THVL1 through THVL5 — distributed across the Vĩnh Long province and broader Mekong Delta. THVL1 is the flagship channel carrying Vietnamese dramas, news, and entertainment; THVL2 runs variety, music, and fairytale programming; THVL3–THVL4 deliver local dramas, cải lương (reformed opera), and Mekong Delta cultural content; and THVL5 is dedicated to Khmer-language programming for the ethnic minority community. The underlying digital platform is THVLi, an over-the-top (OTT) service accessible via web (thvli.vn) and dedicated iOS and Android apps with QR-code onboarding. THVLi provides live streaming of all five channels plus an on-demand library of original Vietnamese dramas, music shows, fairytales, and children's programming (Thiếu Nhi vertical). The product surface also includes Shorts (short-form clips) and Phim Việt Nam (Vietnamese drama library).

The business model is a hybrid state broadcaster/government licensee structure. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; it is implied to combine government appropriations with traditional broadcasting and ad-supported monetization, supplemented by the licensed paid-broadcasting model. Specific subscription pricing, advertising rates, and revenue split are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is omnichannel — five OTA channels plus the THVLi OTT ecosystem — targeting individual consumers rather than enterprise customers, with no named B2B clients or commercial partnership revenue disclosed in the source data.

Emerging players

• FPT Play: FPT Play is a leading Vietnamese OTT streaming platform offering live TV, on-demand dramas, and sports. It directly competes with THVLi for mobile-first Vietnamese audiences and represents a benchmark for OTT functionality that THVL is still building toward.
• VieON: VieON is one of Vietnam's largest OTT platforms, offering licensed and original Vietnamese content across drama, variety, and kids categories — directly overlapping with THVLi's content mix and target audience of Vietnamese-language viewers.

Broad incumbents

• VTVcab One: VTVcab is a major Vietnamese pay-TV and OTT operator affiliated with VTV, offering multi-channel distribution and on-demand streaming. It competes with THVLi in the OTT streaming category while serving as a potential syndication partner for THVL content.
• Vietnam Television (VTV): VTV is Vietnam's national public broadcaster operating flagship and thematic channels with a digital streaming platform (VTVGo). It is the broadest incumbent, competing with THVL for Vietnamese viewers at scale but with national reach and significantly larger production budgets.

Direct peers

• Bình Dương Radio and Television (BTV): BTV is a Vietnamese provincial state broadcaster operating multi-channel programming with digital distribution, structurally analogous to THVL but serving Bình Dương province. It is a directly comparable provincial peer for benchmarking operations and audience scale.
• �à Nẵng Radio and Television (DRT): DRT is a Vietnamese provincial state broadcaster in central Vietnam with multi-channel operations and digital streaming — a structural peer to THVL operating under the same national licensing framework but in a different regional market.
• Ho Chi Minh City Television (HTV): HTV is another Vietnamese state-owned regional broadcaster operating multiple channels with an OTT streaming presence, structurally identical to THVL but anchored in Ho Chi Minh City. It is the closest direct peer in terms of governance, multi-channel model, and public broadcaster mandate.
• SCTV (Saigon Cable Television): SCTV is a major Vietnamese cable TV and OTT provider with deep penetration in the Mekong Delta and southern Vietnam, including in Vĩnh Long's coverage area. It is a direct competitive peer for both broadcast viewership and OTT streaming subscribers in THVL's home region.
