Welcome to Radio Saigon Houston, KREH 900 AM. We are proud to be the only full-service, full-time Asian station in Greater Houston, serving the largest local Asian population -- the Vietnamese community.
We provide informative news, coverage of international, national and local events, expert advice from local professionals, entertainment and interactive programs. Our listeners are concentrated in Downtown, Southwest, and North Houston; as well as the coastal Galveston area.
We invite you to listen to the rich traditions of the Vietnamese language and culture!
In 1998, Mass Media Inc. was created to empower one of the most rapidly growing Asian populations by providing the Vietnamese community with breaking news and the latest current events.
Radio Saigon Houston is currently co-owned by a residential couple, Duong Phuc and Vu Thanh Thuy, and a Board of Directors committed to providing information to Vietnamese people everywhere. The shows have been developed to be specific to the local population and its concerns and issues, but the themes are universal for anyone in the process of assimilating to a different culture.
Radio Saigon Houston has grown to include a full staff and 80 contributing producers. Our goal is to become America's first Vietnamese AM radio system, broadcast in all major cities of Vietnamese communities. Intent on building bridges between the Vietnamese and mainstream American communities, Radio Saigon Houston is producing more bilingual programs and some entirely in English. It is the only full-time, full-service Asian station that caters to Vietnamese listeners in the greater Houston area.
When their country fell under Communist control, Award-winning journalists of South Vietnam, Duong Phuc and Vu Thanh Thuy, sought freedom after escaping as political prisoners, living as fugitives with their young daughters, drifting on the ocean, falling prey to pirates, and ultimately fighting for justice.
Phuc and Thuy fled their homeland aboard a small fishing boat after many failed attempts. Once at sea, they were at the mercy of harsh elements and human predators. Their subsequent rescue and open letter to the international press, which was read at a United Nations News Conference in Thailand in 1980, broke the story of the "boat people" to the world.
They became internationally known for their lead role in the Boat People SOS Committee, whose missions rescued more than 3,000 refugees in the 1980s and '90s.
At the time, Thuy told an Associated Press reporter, "Having been a refugee myself years ago, I know exactly what it's like to be a refugee and I know what needs to be done."
Today, they continue voicing their mission of collaboration between Vietnamese and U.S. communities through Radio Saigon: Houston - KREH 900 AM and Dallas - KTXV 890 AM.
