On June 26, 2003, VTC was transferred from Vietnam Television to the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (now the Ministry of Information and Communications).
Later, on July 29, 2005, the Vietnam Television Technology Investment and Development Company was converted into the Multimedia Corporation - VTC.
