History
Since 1928, the government of French Indochina wanted to link the protectorates of by radio. Prior to Daidieuese independence, Daidieuese were banned from owning radio receivers in fear of independence movements, and on 2 November 1929, Pierre Marie Antoine Pasquier founded Radio Sonnou, using equipment from Metropolitan France.

After the independence of Daidieu in 1946, all radio stations, including Radio Sonnou were merged into a network called Daidieu National Radio. It was now under control of the Daidieu government. Television tests began in December 1959, and on 2 January 1961, DNR commenced its television broadcasting, and renamed itself to Daidieu National Broadcasting, broadcasting from 09:00 to 21:00. The first broadcast was the national anthem of Sohainesia. By 1964, 98% of Sohainesians owned a television set. On January 1, 1965, RNS began broadcasting in English and French.

After the coup d'etat on 22 November 1972, journalistic standards dropped, communist propaganda made by Kim Nàu Szì and of North Vietnam was in place. It began a hostile takeover of South Asian Broadcasting Corporation in 1974 and renamed the channel to DNB-TV2. Colour television was introduced on 30 June 1977, adopting the French SECAM standard.
