History

DXSS-TV channel 7 began commercial television operations in 1965, the first television station in Southern Mindanao. DXSS-TV was owned by the Southern Broadcasting Network and affiliated with GMA Network's predecessor Republic Broadcasting System. It became the second VHF television station to be established in Davao Region, while followed by the establishment of provincial stations of ABS Channel 2 (owned by ABS-CBN Corporation's predecessor Alto Broadcasting System) two years later.

On September 21, 1972, during the declaration of martial law by then-President Ferdinand Marcos by the virtue of Proclamation 1081, DXSS-TV was subsequently shut down.

In 1974, when RBS were sold to the triumvirate composed of Gilberto Duavit Sr., Menardo Jimenez and Felipe Gozon under the new management, DXSS-TV was reopened together with the network's own variation of GMA Radio-Television Arts. The relaunch of GMA, aside from sporting a light blue square logo with the network name in white, also had the using of the circle 7 logo, in its final years the blue circle 7 logo used was similar to those used by the ABC is some United States cities and later used the rainbow colors of red, yellow, green and blue stripes. During that year, DXSS-TV upgrading into an originating station and began its first local newscast of News at Seven Davao that serving Davao City. It also launched its Cebuano drama series Goot da Wanderpol, which was syndicated from its co-owned station in Cebu from 1989 to 1992.

On April 30, 1992, following the network's expansion of coverage, DXSS-TV was integrated into the Rainbow Satellite Network, which commences its satellite broadcast to bring live broadcasts of national and foreign programming from Manila-based DZBB-TV to viewers in the Davao region, with added opt-outs to serve local audiences. Following the launch, GMA utilizes a new logo to correspond with the rebranding and a satellite-beaming rainbow in a multicolored striped based on the traditional scheme of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, with GMA in a metallic form uses a San Serif Futura Extra Bold and analogous gloominess of Indigo as its fonts in the letters.

In late 1998, GMA acquired the channel 5 frequency from its owner Associated Broadcasting Corporation, whose TV operations launched in 1962 until the declaration of martial law twenty-two years ago; having transferred its transmitter from its original site in Tagum, Davao del Norte to Shrine Hills in Davao City. As a result, Channel 5 relaunched as a GMA Network station followed by changed its callsign to DXMJ-TV. Meanwhile, SBN subsequently took control of the DXSS Channel 7 frequency and call sign.

On October 4, 1999, GMA Davao restored local programming with the return of a local newscast Testigo (first known as Testigo: GMA Super Balita), a local version of its longest-running newscast Saksi, covering the Davao City area. This was followed by the launched of a musical variety show "Singgit Davao" on October 24 of the same year. Following that, GMA's television operation in Davao then moved to the Amesco Building along Magsaysay Street, which had already been housing the GMA radio stations, in which was inaugurated in 1996.

On December 31, 1999, GMA special Global Millennium Day got a regional version to be served to Cebuano residence and including regional host. Then it was simulcast from GMA-7 Manila (for the Regine Velasquez performance called "Written in the Sands") and the regional feed were simulcast all over Mindanao via relayers. Also, it had a radio version via DXGM 1125 and Campus Radio stations all around Mindanao area.

On May 5, 2008, GMA Davao studios relocating to its transmitter site in Shrine Hills, Matina from its original studio at Amesco Building, which remains as the HQ for radio operations that was transferred in 1999.

GMA Davao started conducting digital test broadcasts on UHF channel 37 on June 27, 2018, covering Metro Davao and the provinces of Davao del Norte and Davao del Sur, as well as several parts of Davao de Oro.
