Following the clamor for fresh news from different regions and provinces across the country, GMA Network's GMA Regional TV (RTV) proudly airs its new flagship news program Regional TV News, airing on weekdays at 9:00 am and Saturday at 10:00 am on GTV, produced by the teams behind the top-rating and award-winning regional newscasts GMA Regional TV Balitang Amianan (North Central Luzon), GMA Regional TV Balitang Bisdak (Central and Eastern Visayas), GMA Regional TV One Western Visayas, GMA Regional TV One Mindanao and GMA Regional TV Balitang Bicolandia.
In 2019, GMA RTV began to make its local newscasts available to more viewers nationwide through GMA Regional TV Weekend News which aired every Saturday night on GTV (previously known as GMA News TV). This year, GMA RTV makes news from the regions available six days a week and on earlier timeslots with Regional TV News. Anchored by GMA RTV's young and dynamic broadcast journalists (CJ Torida, Nikko Sereno, Sedfrey Cadaluna, Sarah Hilomen-Velasco, Jessie Cruzat), the 30-minute morning nationwide newscast provides the latest and most relevant news from different regions and provinces on the national level. Staying true to its commitment of "Local News Matters", joining them in delivering the biggest and most important happenings in key cities and provinces are GMA RTV's roster of news personalities as well as various local news teams and stringers in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering local news that matters, in sharing stories that inspire, and in enriching the lives of Filipinos in the Philippines and across the globe. This is why we take pride in this latest addition to our growing list of local TV programs—Regional TV News—a national newscast featuring the local news from all over the regions, made available to more viewers via GTV. We invite our Kapuso to join us every morning and catch the biggest and the most important news from the provinces and various cities outside Metro Manila. This latest endeavor will not be possible without your continued support of GMA Regional TV. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng ating Kapuso na patuloy na tinatangkilik ang mga programa ng GMA RTV," said Oliver Victor Amoroso, GMA Network First Vice President and Head of Regional TV and Synergy.
On the other hand, GMA Network's regional arm further strengthens its presence in North Central Luzon and Central and Eastern Visayas with their local channels made available in Zambales, Aurora, Isabela, Cagayan Valley, Calbayog, Borongan and Dumaguete earlier this year. Meanwhile, GTV recently widened and strengthened its coverage areas in Northern and Central Luzon and Southern Tagalog. Residents in Benguet, La Union, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Batangas, Camarines Sur, portions of Nueva Ecija and Ilocos Sur and parts of Quezon province can now enjoy a sharper, more vibrant and high-quality television viewing experience while watching the colorful lineup of GTV programs.
Viewers can also catch Regional TV News live and on-demand on GMA Regional TV's official YouTube channel (@gmaregionaltv) as well as GMA News TV International for overseas Filipinos.
