01History
Signal testing for this station began in November 2007 in English and Asian languages. Once testing was complete, the station began broadcasting a Vietnamese format known as "Radio Saigon."
Radio Saigon later moved to KRVA 1600 AM to make way for a Mandarin and English format supplied by Radio China International.
