The newscasts returned as a weekday primetime newscast from September 18, 2017 to September 4, 2020 replacing the weekday edition of Ulat Bayan . [1] The hour-long newscast aired nationally via PTV-4 and simulcast on government radio network Radyo Pilipinas every Monday to Friday at 6:00 PM.

History

PTV News (then also known as PTV News Nationwide), the flagship late-night English language newscast of PTV, premiered on October 2, 1995, replacing News on 4 and originally anchored by Erik Espina, Chichi Fajardo-Forbes, Chiqui Roa-Puno and Daniel Razon. As part of the rebranding of the channel as "PTV Network" during the Estrada Administration, PTV News Nationwide is cancelled (as the first incarnation of PTV News) on October 30, 1998, replaced by National Network News until July 13, 2001.

The network-produced afternoon edition (1:00 to 2:00 PM) was anchored by Audrey Gorriceta, who has now been replaced by Alex Santos, and Princess Habibah Sarip-Paudac... primetime edition (6:00 to 7:00 PM) is anchored by Kathy San Gabriel, Aljo Bendijo and Ria Fernandez, late night edition (9:15 to 10:15 PM) is anchored by Catherine Vital, Charms Espina and Richmond Cruz and the weekend editions (6:00 to 7:00 PM) is anchored by Rocky Ignacio, Ralph Obina, Joseph Parafina and Diane Querrer of the newscast from July 11, 2016, to July 9, 2017, as a result of programming changes brought about by the assumption of Duterte Administration, taking over the timeslots of News @ 1, News @ 6, NewsLife and The Weekend News. This marked the second time that PTV's newscasts are in a single brand, the first being Teledyaryo which aired from July 16, 2001 to June 29, 2012.

It was initially replaced on July 10, 2017, by three newly revamped newscasts: Sentro Balita (afternoon), Ulat Bayan (weekday and weekend evenings) and PTV News Headlines (late-night), which happened few days after the re-branding of the channel on June 28, 2017.

2017-18: Tulfo and Querrer era

Roughly two months later (September 18), PTV News returned as PTV's premier early-evening newscast while introducing new anchors: Erwin Tulfo (after he resigned from TV5, Radyo5 92.3 News FM and AksyonTV) and Diane Querrer. Ulat Bayan then became PTV's weekend newscast.

As a result of sweeping restructuring changes brought about by a controversy surrounding Erwin Tulfo and his brother Ben with the Department of Tourism and PTV-4, Erwin was removed from the newscast shortly after the scandal broke out and a troika of rotating anchors (Audrey Gorriceta, Ralph Obina and Aljo Bendijo) filled in for his slot until June 1, 2018.

2018-20: Santos and Vital, later Bendijo and Querrer era

Alex Santos and Catherine Vital became the new anchors of PTV News on June 4, 2018, formally replacing Tulfo and Querrer, the latter being reassigned returning to Daily Info with Audrey Gorriceta. A new headline sequence and title card for the program was introduced on July 16, 2018, barely a few days after PTV's relaunch. [2] On March 18, 2020, Vital left also the newscast leaving Santos as the only anchors.

On May 11, 2020, Aljo Bendijo and Diane Querrer returned to the weeknight anchor of PTV News, replacing Vital. They transferred to the late-night newscast of PTV News Headlines and rejoined Santos. PTV News aired its final broadcast on September 4, 2020, making way for Ulat Bayan on September 7, 2020, alongside the weekday morning program Rise and Shine Pilipinas , the afternoon edition newscast Sentro Balita , PTV Balita Ngayon, and the late-night newscast PTV News Tonight .
