As TV Patrol Northern Luzon (2000–2018)

On November 27, 2000, TV Patrol Baguio was reformatted to TV Patrol Northern Luzon with Adamor Dagang. With the launching of TV Patrol Northern Luzon in La Union on January 20, 2003, the news program was aired live daily via UHF Channel 30 in San Fernando City, La Union and its neighboring towns. In 2004 former RPN TV 12 Baguio correspondent Dhobie de Guzman took the anchor's chair upon Dagang's departure and he promoted of Provincial Information and Tourism Officer, Province of La Union. In 2006 Pia Gutierrez joined TV Patrol Northern Luzon as co-anchor with De Guzman. In 2010 left the newscast to transfer as ABS-CBN TV 2 Manila reporter.

The news program offers several segments such as "Sari-Sari" for human interest stories, "RX Patrol" for health issues, Pulis Patrol for police and crime reports. Add to that the revival of the segment "Alam Ba News?" which tackles about everything under the sun with suggested topics from viewers.

On June 19, 2017, TV Patrol Northern Luzon updated its logo and graphics and its lower thirds thus were changed to Gotham font to match the national TV Patrol. This is the thirteenth newscast to update its graphics, similar to the national newscast.

Expansion as TV Patrol North Luzon

On June 29, 2018, [2] ABS-CBN Regional announced that TV Patrol Northern Luzon, together with TV Patrol North Central Luzon , TV Patrol Cagayan Valley and TV Patrol Ilocos will be merged into a brand new service – TV Patrol North Luzon. The merger of newscasts further extended the newscast's coverage over the entire Northern and Central Luzon, including Ilocos and Cagayan Valley regions. All four newscasts ended their broadcasts on June 29, 2018 in preparation for the debut of the expanded pan-regional newscast for these areas.

The newscast was launched on July 2, with a unique OBB different from the national newscast and majority of its regional counterparts (also adopted by TV Patrol North Mindanao and TV Patrol South Central Mindanao , both of which were launched on the same day). Since then, master control was centralised to the channel 3 studios in Baguio City.

At launch, TV Patrol North Luzon was introduced in a unique 4-presenter format, with Dhobie de Guzman presenting from ABS-CBN Baguio, Cris Zuñiga from ABS-CBN Dagupan, Grace Alba from ABS-CBN Laoag, and Harris Julio from ABS-CBN Isabela. The setup only lasted for a few months. Afterwards, only the Baguio and Dagupan studios remained in operation, although the production team taps in either Alba, Julio, or any other reporters from Ilocandia for occasional live intros of their respective reports. Also, while being simulcast on DZRR-FM in Baguio, DWBA-FM in Santiago City and DWEL-FM in Laoag the newscast did not hook up on the MOR FM station in Dagupan (DWEC).

On March 27, 2020, the program started its live simulcast over MOR 95.5 Laoag For Life! FM. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and the ABS-CBN closure due to cease and desist order because of the expiration of its congressional franchise, the newscast continues to air on its Facebook page on a pre-recorded basis with its anchors reporting from their homes and on August 28, 2020 the newscast aired its final episode due to Congress of the Philippines denied its new franchise.

Pampanga Local Window

Between August and September 2018, TV Patrol North Luzon included news reports from Pampanga, a separate television market currently served by DWIN-TV 46 but receives signals from relays in Central Luzon, being delivered in Filipino language. The province's station was one of the network's former originating outlets, where it produced its own local newscast TV Patrol Pampanga until it was axed on June 29. After it was axed, the Pampanga bureau scaled back news production by introducing short News Patrol bulletins throughout the day delivered in the Kapampangan language. The news division afterwards stopped airing Pampanga-based reports to North Luzon viewers as it was later included in the national newscast later in the day.

On May 20, 2019, the network officially reassigned Pampanga as a semi-satellite to the wider North Luzon region, giving them an amount of newscast production back to the province. Under the new format, studio presentation was restored as a pre-recorded local window in the Kapampangan language; reports are compiled and produced from the San Fernando City studios and is then sent to Baguio City for transmission. [4] Pampanga viewers receive a more longer opt-out edition of the newscast on Channel 46 with more provincial headlines and reports while the rest of the broadcast area receives the newscast as usual. Since the semi-restoration, News Patrol updates for Pampanga were closed, and were replaced by a simulcast of bulletins from Baguio and Dagupan.

To reflect the said expansion, a revised opening billboard of the newscast debuted on the 1st anniversary of its relaunch. Minor revisions of the OBB were done on July 2, 2019 to reflect Pampanga's news team at par with the rest of the super region.
