The channel was launched on January 6, 2003, as Global Kabayan Television (GKTV) by Global Destiny Cable (now absorbed by Sky Cable), then airing archived programs from third-party productions, movies and in-house cable TV on-air promos. In 2007, GKTV was rebranded as PCTV (Philippine Cable Television) and began airing news and public service programming that eventually evolved into Global News Network (GNN) aired on March 24, 2008. [2]

GNN was then available on Channel 8 via Global Destiny Cable, Channel 213 via Sky Cable, and Channel 1 via G Sat. Five UHF free TV stations have been successfully established in the past six months; for Pampanga (UHF Channel 44), Cagayan de Oro (UHF Channel 45), Zamboanga (UHF Channel 43), Baguio (UHF Channel 48), and Naga (UHF Channel 48). GNN's free TV stations added in five cities will officially launch in July 2010 in General Santos (UHF Channel 40) (Later on to UHF Channel 46 in 2015), Ilocos Sur (UHF Channel 30), Roxas City, Capiz (UHF Channel 43), Cebu City (Channel 45) and Batangas (Channel 34).

In mid-2017 until 2019, during its first iteration, the channel was available on digital terrestrial television via UHF channel 44 (subchannel 4) in Metro Manila.

On February 4, 2019, as part of the channel's restructure, GNN was rebranded as One Media Network. During its transition period, it aired promo advertisements from various channels that are available on GSAT. Later on, new programs were gradually introduced and integrated to the network's programming grid. Its local affiliate stations in Naga, Pampanga and Cagayan de Oro remained active of its own programming while retaining the GNN brand until the second quarter of 2019, when they followed the suit without changes on programming.

On May 1, 2021, One Media was reverted to GNN, this time under its new name Golden Nation Network. The latter is adapted from the sister company of GSTS which also granted its Congressional broadcast franchise. [3] But in August 2023, GNN and its Pampanga and Naga stations renamed back to One Media Network.
