DXAI-TV is an owned-and-operated station of ABS-CBN Corporation. Its Central Mindanao news gathering base is located at Don E. Sero Street, Brgy. Rosary Heights V, Cotabato City, Maguindanao.
History
The station began operations in 1996. In June 1999, channel 5 Cotabato upgraded as an originating station when it began producing its local TV Patrol newscast for the city, which later expanded to the Central Mindanao market.
ABS-CBN Cotabato and its Central Mindanao relays became part of the wider South Central Mindanao super region since 2010, combining its resources with Soccsksargen originating station DXZT-TV General Santos. Their partnership resulted to its pan-regional breakfast show Magandang Umaga South Central Mindanao. For the next eight years, the station continued to run as a separate regional market for Central Mindanao with local newscasts and advertising.
However, on June 29, 2018, as part of cost-cutting measures to ABS-CBN Regional, to align its digitization of facilities with the network's flagship station in Manila, DXAI-TV was closed down as an originating station.[1] Afterwards, the Cotabato station and its Central Mindanao transmitters were downgraded to General Santos relays, merging its news departments into a single pan-regional TV Patrol newscast produced in the latter for the entire South Central Mindanao super region.
