History

Previous Radio Saigon Dallas ident used until late 2012.

Signal testing for this station began in November 2007 in English and Asian languages.[3] 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.
