[edit] History
While several Vietnamese-geared channels and programs already existed in the early 2000, none of them had a around-the-clock program. SBN (Saigon Broadcasting Network) was created with Truc Ho to fill this gap and provide a full program with the lack of many Vietnamese ads that generally fill the Vietnamese TV space. Due to a trademark-dispute, the channel's original name from SBN was changed to its current official name SBTN.
[edit] Location
SBTN's headquarters are located in Garden Grove. Most of the shows are produced at this location, while reporters in the field often travel throughout the United States to cover events pertaining to the Vietnamese community.
