New TV tower built in northern Nam Dinh province
The construction of a 160-metre TV tower was started in the northern province of Nam Dinh on July 14.
It is designed to serve about 8 million viewers in surrounding areas, once being operational from later this year.
The new tower of the national Vietnam Television network is built at a cost of VND21.6 billion (US$1.03 million) at the site of the old one, which collapsed during a storm in 2012.
Nam Dinh is located at the heart of the south of the Red River Delta and considered as a key area for extending broadcast range of terrestrial television, which is part of the Government’s plan to digitise this kind of transmission.
