GMA News TV Starts Airing Today


For the past six months, the men and women of GMA News and Public Affairs have been busy working on an idea - that the country is ready for an all-news and documentary channel on free TV.

That idea - and their effort - will come to fruition today, February 28, as GMA News TV goes on the air, providing the Filipino viewer with a compelling viewing alternative.

Hourly newscasts, live coverage, in-depth documentaries, never-before-seen reality formats, and hard-hitting investigative programs - all on easily accessible free TV Channel 11 - make GMA News TV worth the long wait.





A truly alternative viewing experience

"Importante sa amin na alam ninyo," states GMA News TV's station ID. And the free to air news and public affairs channel - from the only broadcast news organization in the Philippines to have won the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award - stays true to that commitment by expanding the Kapuso brand of serbisyong totoo.

For GMA News TV, an informed Filipino audience is an empowered Filipino audience. With this in mind, the channel will provide substantial airtime for live events, important hearings and in-depth discussions of current issues.

Its newscasts kick off bright and early with Dobol B Sa News TV, the simulcast from the network's flagship radio station DZBB, hosted by GMA News pillar Mike Enriquez. GMA News Online's Editor-in-Chief Howie Severino and Peabody winner Kara David soon follow with the morning program News To Go.
