History

Origins

The oldest regional television station in Cebu, Channel 3, had been by the time Martial Law was announced in 1972, as an ABS-CBN owned-and-operated station broadcasting local news in addition to via microwave relay broadcasts of national newscasts Balita Ngayon and The World Tonight beginning in 1969. By the time ownership changed hands to the Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation, its news service was revamped, and in 1974 its newscasts, BBC 3 Balita, BBC 3 Primetime News and BBC 3 Late Night News were officially launched. In 1978, with the channel being acquired by Government Television (by 1980 relaunched as the Maharlika Broadcasting System), the news service, now GTV 3 News Today, was retooled to face the increasing competition of GMA 7's Mga Balita sa Kilum-Kilum and News at Seven Cebu (formerly GMA News Digest Cebu), becoming Newscenter 3 Cebu in 1980.

As TV Patrol Cebu (1988–2000)

By 1988, the by now newly revived ABS-CBN, faced with the challenge of beating Channel 7 to become the leading television station in Cebu, devised a plan to officially replace the two-year-old Balita Karon, which debuted in 1986, and the English-language weekly broadcast Midweek Report, begun in 1987, both launched after the return of the network and the repurchase of Channel 3 from PTV. The end result was the launch of a local edition of what was by now the country's newest primetime newscast.

TV Patrol Cebu premiered on August 29, 1988 with Titus Borromeo as the first anchor of the regional newscast, making it to be the first and the longest running regional TV Patrol in the Philippines. Since its launch, it has had covered stories raging from natural disasters, man-made disasters, religion conflicts, tribal conflicts, political controversies, social issues and crime stories that are in Cebuano, initially covering all of Metro Cebu and later bringing all the latest news and issues from all over the province. On December 12, 1988, the program changed timeslots, broadcasting by now at 5:30pm from its original 6pm broadcast, giving way to the satellite broadcasts of TV Patrol from Channel 2 Metro Manila. By January 1989, satellite broadcasts to other parts of the Visayas with Cebuano-speaking communities finally expanded the reach of the telecast. On August 14, 1989, Dante Luzon, Robinson Yap and Nanette Tapayan debuted as the new anchors, together with Borromeo, bringing it in line with the then national 4-anchor format.

Bingo Gonzales was later appointed anchor in 1991 to replace Yap, who retired from anchoring duties that year. In 1995, Borromeo left as he was then reassigned as part of the news team of ABS-CBN Dumaguete and appointed to lead the local TV Patrol telecast for Negros Oriental, which has a large Cebuano-speaking population and was then replaced by Shella Gallardo. In July 1, 1996 Cedric Abaigar has the new hired reporter and current relief anchor and May 11, 1997, Haide Acuña replaced Gallardo in the anchor's chair.

On June 15, 1998, former RPN NewsWatch anchor Harry Gasser replaced Luzon. Acuña later left the anchor role, leaving Harry to lead the newscast into the beginning of the 21st century as a solo presenter. By 1998, the launch of TV Patrol Eastern Visayas (then TV Patrol Tacloban) had already limited the coverage of the newscast to the Cebuano speaking viewers in the provinces of Cebu, Bohol and Siquijor.

As TV Patrol Dumaguete (1995–2006)

On August 14, 1995, ABS-CBN Dumaguete became an originating station along with the launching of TV Patrol Dumaguete, with Cebu veteran newscaster Titus Borromeo as its first presenter, bringing news stories from the Cebuano-speaking province of Negros Oriental.

As TV Patrol Central Visayas (2000–2020)

On July 3, 2000, TV Patrol Cebu was relaunched as TV Patrol Central Visayas with Harry Gasser and future national reporter Ina Reformina. The newscast continues to earn local and national awards, including the Catholic Mass Media Awards. On October 19, 2001 Gasser left the newscast and was replaced by Dante Luzon. This was also the beginning of its radio simulcast on the network's regional radio station DYAB Radyo Patrol Cebu 1512 kHz. On July 14, 2003 Luzon left the show and was replaced with Leo Lastimosa as an anchor of the newscast and was rejoined by Haide Acuña in 2004, three years later (Acuña would retire from anchor duties in 2013), and on January 2, 2006, with the final telecast of TV Patrol Dumaguete the year before, it began to be broadcast on ABS-CBN TV-12 Dumaguete as well with reporters based in the city and all over Negros Oriental, as well as in Bohol.

In 2008, TV Patrol Central Visayas celebrated 20 years of public service to Central Philippines. It has covered news events like events around the administration Cebu's political families (Osmeña, Garcia & Rama). Peace and order situations in far-flung towns and cities outside Cebu City. Events that were on national scale: the 1989 nationwide coup, the 1991 Ormoc floods caused by Tropical Storm Thelma (Uring), the 1997 Chiong sisters case, the 2004 Presidential Inauguration in Cebu, The 2005 Bohol cassava cake poisoning, the 2006 Southern Leyte mudslide and the 2007 ASEAN Summit.

TV Patrol Central Visayas celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013. The same year, the newscast updated their graphics, OBB, studio set and video and audio packages. It's logo changed to silver, to mark its silver anniversary.

In August 2016, TV Patrol Central Visayas updated their logo, graphics (with the font of the lower thirds and ticker now with Gotham) and video packages (except for Police Patrol, Eco Patrol and Campus Patrol, which is made by its in-house graphics artists), now matching the national TV Patrol. This was the second regional TV Patrol newscast to update its graphics and exactly match the new graphics to the national newscast next to TV Patrol Socsksargen (now TV Patrol South Central Mindanao) on the 8th of the same month.

From February 6 to March 27, 2017, the newscast was situated outside the ABS-CBN Cebu Broadcast Complex as the main studio underwent renovations.

On March 28, 2017, TV Patrol Central Visayas began broadcasting in a newly renovated set, which includes Augmented Reality and a large wall with the logo of the said newscast.

On June 1, 2017, the newscast began airing on MOR 97.1 Lupig Sila! besides airing on DYAB Radyo Patrol 1512, becoming the first TV Patrol Regional newscast to simulcast on both a Radyo Patrol and an MOR station. It marked its 30th year in 2018.

The newscast temporarily suspended airings for the second time from May 5 until May 7, 2020, as a result of the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to stop the broadcasting operations of ABS-CBN, but the newscast resumed on May 8, 2020 via Facebook's live streaming platform Facebook Live and YouTube.

The newscast aired its final episode on August 28, 2020 (a day before what would have been the 32nd anniversary of the newscast) as a result of retrenchments after bills for the renewal of ABS-CBN's franchise was denied by the Congress of the Philippines. [1]
