Background
[edit]The newscast premiered on January 7, 2002, replacing Ronda Trese. It was first anchored by Elmer Mercado and Anthony Pangilinan. Mercado and Pangilinan bowed out the newscast and was later replaced by Noli Eala several months later. However, Eala eventually left the newscast in 2003 to be appointed as the commissioner of the Philippine Basketball Association. He was later replaced by Dennis Principe but left the newscast in 2006 to be acquired by NBN (now PTV), also a government-controlled network. Principe would later be replaced by Gina dela Vega-Cruz as the sole anchor of the newscast. On April 16, 2007, former ABS-CBN and RPN business correspondent Joee Guilas as co-anchor with dela Vega-Cruz. Guilas and dela Vega-Cruz both left the show to be replaced by the female tandem of Rida Reyes and Thea Gavino on August 4, 2008. Reyes soon left the newscast on November 7, 2008, to be acquired by GMA Network, and was replaced by Atty. Zorah Andam on November 10, 2008, as co-anchor with Gavino. Gavino and Andam bowed out the newscast until the latter was replaced by the returning Joee Guilas in late 2010.
Former IBC Express Balita anchors Jake Morales and Cathy Eigenmann replaced Guilas on June 20, 2011, as the new and final anchors. The newscast ceased airing on August 5, 2011, to make way for the evening edition of News Team 13.
