ONE North Central Luzon (previously known as 24 Oras North Central Luzon/24 Oras Amianan/Balitang Amianan) is a Philippine news program of the GMA Regional TV in the North Central Luzon super region. The newscast delivers news and current affairs in Tagalog language. The news program is the 1st regional news program of GMA to be delivered in Filipino, and the 1st in Luzon. Initially created to deliver news from North Central Luzon, the newscast expanded its coverage into Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley and parts of Central Luzon as part of GMA Regional's plans to strengthen its local news division. Originally anchored by Jorge Guerrero, it premiered on May 5, 2008. CJ Torida, Joanne Ponsoy, Ivy Hernando and Harold Reyes currently serve as the anchors.

History

As Balitang Amianan (2008-2014)

It first aired on Channel 10 in Dagupan and anchored by former anchor for TV Patrol North Central Luzon/TV Patrol Ilocos (now TV Patrol North Luzon) and Dateline Northern Luzon (now defunct) Jorge Guerrero and the first set of news reporters namely Joyce Segui, CJ Torida, Alfie Tulagan and Charisse Victorio. In June 2012, Jorge Guerrero left the show and moved to GMA Ilocos to become the solo anchor of Balitang Ilokano (later 24 Oras Ilokano ). He was replaced by CJ Torida. In 2013 reporter Joyce Segui joins Torida's co-anchor. The channel's biggest expose so far is about a casino which was established in Poro, San Fernando, La Union.

To strengthen its commitment of bringing the latest, most credible and most comprehensive news from the region, in July 2013, Balitang Amianan started its international broadcast on GMA News TV International alongside other newscasts Balitang Bisdak and 24 Oras Davao (now One Mindanao ). [3]

The newscast's first incarnation ended its 6-year run on November 7, 2014.

As 24 Oras North Central Luzon/24 Oras Amianan (2014-2016)

Following changes of its now-main newscast 24 Oras, Balitang Amianan was rebranded as 24 Oras North Central Luzon effective November 10, 2014.

On August 31, 2015, 24 Oras North Central Luzon retitled as 24 Oras Amianan (after Ratsada 24 Oras of GMA Iloilo since July 20, now relaunched since August 27, 2018 as One Western Visayas ) with an additional segment called "Trivia ni Araguy". 24 Oras Amianan aired its last telecast on January 29, 2016.

As Balitang Amianan (2016-present)

On February 1, 2016, Balitang Amianan returned on the air after more than a year hiatus. On April 18, 2016, Faye Centeno joined as Torida's co-anchor in the newscast.

Since October 3, 2016, Balitang Amianan started its simulcast on GMA TV-5 Ilocos Norte, GMA TV-48 Ilocos Sur, GMA TV-7 Abra and GMA TV-5 Mountain Province as it expands its coverage area to the Ilocos Region and some parts of the Cordillera Administrative Region and Central Luzon. [4]

On January 2, 2017, the newscast updated its opening billboard and lower third graphics similar to 24 Oras, together with other newscasts Balitang Bisdak and One Mindanao.

Relaunch

On October 23, 2017, Balitang Amianan relaunched with a brand new set and segments (including the well-known Anto Tan?), as well as theme music and OBB, similar to its sister regional news program One Mindanao , GMA Regional TV's newscast for Mindanao stations, which was launched two months earlier. Longtime correspondent Joanne Ponsoy joined Torida and Centeno to anchor the newscast. [5]

In July 2018, longtime reporter Jasmin Gabriel-Galban joined Torida and Ponsoy on the anchor team. She replaced Faye Centeno, who left the newscast.

On July 29, 2019, the newscast tweaks a minor revision of its titlecard, changing its font color to green, reflecting it with its co-produced national newscast GMA Regional TV Weekend News (now Regional TV News ), which was launched on July 27. A week after, on August 5, 2019, Balitang Amianan updated their graphics and introduced new opening titles patterned with its co-produced national newscast (featuring the sceneries of the program's coverage area). The newscast had a more relaxed set-up with couches instead of the tables and chairs that viewers usually see on typical newscasts intending to be an extension of viewers' living room, further connecting the news anchors and the viewers. [6]

On March 15, 2021, Balitang Amianan expands its simulcast on GMA TV-7 Tuguegarao, GMA TV-13 Aparri, GMA TV-7 Isabela, GMA TV-5 Baler, GMA TV-7 Batanes, and GMA TV-10 Olongapo. [7] Three months later, on June 14, 2021, Balitang Amianan updated its opening billboard to reflect the addition of Cagayan Valley and the rest of Cordillera and Central Luzon (except for Bataan and Bulacan) to its coverage area. [8]

From September 20 to November 9, 2021, Torida temporarily left the newscast while Gabriel-Galban returned to being a field reporter, adopting a two-anchor format being used by the other regional newscasts. Co-anchor and Mornings with GMA Regional TV host Harold Reyes replaced Gabriel-Galban in the anchor team on February 25, 2022, once again reviving the three-anchor format for the newscast and three other regional newscasts.

The newscast started using the newly-opened studio of GMA Ilocos on April 25, while in tandem also using the GMA Dagupan studio. Correspondent Ivy Hernando joined the anchor team on June 10 (replacing Gabriel-Galban).

The newscast is being prepared to be rebranded to "GMA Regional TV One North Central Luzon" by September 5, 2022, as part of the newscast expanding its coverage to Batanes, Bataan, and Bulacan.
