History
Pre-launch
Following the People Power Revolution in February 1986 and the resumption of operations months later, ABS-CBN News executives, among them then-News Manager Angelo Castro Jr.,[2][3][4][5] began holding meetings with higher-ups on plans to launch an all-new news program that will serve as a replacement to Balita Ngayon. On March 1, 1987, ABS-CBN announced the launch of TV Patrol during the public variety extravaganza "Ang Pagbabalik ng Bituin" (lit. transl. The Return of the Star) at Luneta Park, Manila.[6]
1987–2001: Noli de Castro
TV Patrol premiered on March 2, 1987 at 6:00 ᴘ.ᴍ. (UTC +8) with Noli de Castro, Mel Tiangco, and Robert Arevalo as the original anchors.[7] and replacing Balita Ngayon, while segment anchors included Ernie Baron, who served as the newscast's chief meteorologist and provided viewers trivia pertaining to science and history, and actress-personality Angelique Lazo who first hosted Star News, an entertainment news segment.[8][9] However, on June 1, 1987, Arevalo left the newscast and was replaced by Frankie Evangelista, who served as a segment host for PULSO: Pangkalahatang Ugnayan Laan sa Opinyon (lit. transl. PULSE: Overall Correlation Reserved for Opinions).
With the introduction of international broadcasts in 1989 to the Pacific islands of Guam and Saipan, and later with the birth of The Filipino Channel in 1994, TV Patrol became the first Philippine newscast and program to be broadcast overseas. It still does so today, now in an expanded reach through TFC and the live web streaming on its official webpage.
In 1993, Christine Bersola joined the newscast to host Star News, replacing Lazo, until 1996.
In 1995, Korina Sánchez joined the newscast, replacing Tiangco who left ABS-CBN for GMA Network. De Castro would eventually became the sole anchor of the newscast in 1996, reducing its airtime to 30 minutes.
On January 4, 1999, the newscast returned its airtime to one hour. On February 14, 2000, TV Patrol started its simulcast over AM radio stations DZMM (Manila), DYAB (Cebu), and DXAB (Davao) and began its online presence through the ABS-CBN News website. On February 5, 2001, de Castro left the newscast to run for Senator.
2001–04: Korina Sánchez
On March 5, 2001, Korina Sánchez, Henry Omaga-Díaz, and Aljo Bendijo took over as the new anchors.[10] On April 21, 2003, Julius Babao replaced Omaga-Díaz and Bendijo.[11] In the same year, TV Patrol also simulcast on the Kapamilya Network's UHF station Studio 23 (owned by the AMCARA Broadcasting Network, now known as S+A), which lasted for a few months.
2004–10: TV Patrol World
On November 22, 2004, The program was relaunched as TV Patrol World with Julius Babao, Ted Failon and Karen Davila as its main anchors, while special segments are anchored by Ernie Baron, Phoemela Baranda, and Bernadette Sembrano. Baron died of a heart attack on January 23, 2006 and months later, he was replaced by Kim Atienza as the newscast's resident weatherman. On November 25, 2007, ABS-CBN aired a documentary special for TV Patrol's 20th anniversary entitled TV Patrol: 20 Taon ng Pagpapatrol (lit. transl. TV Patrol: 20 Years of Patrolling). It was produced by ABS-CBN and Jesuit Communications.
2010–15: Relaunch, return of former anchors and 25th anniversary
On June 30, 2010, TV Patrol World was reverted to its original title (TV Patrol) and introduced their official website first main website, and also launched its Facebook and Twitter pages.
On October 4 of the same year, a new program segment, Winner sa Life! (lit. transl. Winner in Life!) with Winnie Cordero was launched with reports on lifestyle and tips on proper living.
On November 3, 2010, ABS-CBN announced the return of former anchors Noli de Castro and Korina Sánchez as weeknight anchors of TV Patrol, replacing Julius Babao and Karen Davila; they joined Ted Failon on November 8, 2010.[12]
On July 29, 2012, a documentary special entitled Mga Nagbabagang Balita: 25 Taon ng TV Patrol (transl. The Breaking News: 25 Years of TV Patrol) was aired in celebration of its 25th anniversary. It was replayed on August 12.[13]
2015–2020: Noli de Castro, Bernadette Sembrano, and Ted Failon
On August 3, 2015, former TV Patrol Weekend anchor Bernadette Sembrano was named as new co-anchor, replacing Sanchez who initially went on an indefinite leave earlier in the year before eventually leaving the newscast for good.
On March 2, 2017, TV Patrol celebrated its 30th anniversary through a live newscast in its studio in Manila, and its sister stations in Tacloban and Zamboanga City. Sembrano was situated at the ABS-CBN studio in Manila while Failon was in Tacloban and de Castro in Zamboanga.
Beginning August 24, 2017, the show featured celebrities as Star Patrol guest anchors, a segment that has been returned after quite some time. Yassi Pressman, Toni Gonzaga, Bela Padilla, Kim Chiu, Bianca Gonzales, Erich Gonzales, Kylie Verzosa, Mariel de León, Janella Salvador, Aiko Meléndez, Karylle, Karla Estrada, and Anne Curtis filled in the slot of Fullido occasionally. Earlier in 2015, actresses Yam Concepción and Loren Burgos, and athlete Gretchen Ho took the helm as pinch-hitters for the segment.[14][15][16] On April 2, 2018, TV Patrol began broadcasting in high definition.
COVID-19 pandemic
On March 16, 2020, TV Patrol began to air on a late night timeslot (as a replay), temporarily replacing the timeslot of late-night newscast Bandila due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. On the same day, it began to be simulcast on the ABS-CBN News Channel, the first ever simulcast since the cable channel's 1996 launch. The decision to adopt late night replays led to yet another adjustment, with the telecast frequently extending their airtime to at least two hours. This led to a shift in Primetime Bida's schedule during the pandemic.
In April, sign language interpreters were added to the broadcast.
ABS-CBN shutdown
On May 5, 2020, TV Patrol was the last program to be aired on ABS-CBN, MOR, and S+A before they signed-off indefinitely that night (DZMM and its television counterpart, TeleRadyo, also aired this edition of the newscast but signed off together at 8:20 ᴘ.ᴍ. following S.R.O.: Suhestyon, Reaksyon at Opinyon), after the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to close the free TV and radio broadcasting operations of ABS-CBN as the network's broadcasting franchise expired the day before.
The special edition focused on the cease and desist order of the NTC closing the network's free TV and radio broadcasting operations and featured statements by ABS-CBN president and chief executive officer Carlo Katigbak and chairman Mark López, appealing the cease and desist order. The program also aired without commercial breaks.[17]
As a result, on May 7, 2020, the newscast temporarily migrated to ABS-CBN News Channel, The Filipino Channel, Cine Mo!, and on social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and iWant, with ANC assuming the program's production.[1][18] TeleRadyo would return simulcasting the newscast on May 8, 2020.
TV Patrol was supposed to simulcast on Kapamilya Channel, the network's ad interim replacement to ABS-CBN for cable and satellite providers beginning June 15, 2020,[19] but the newscast was instead excluded from its programming schedule when the channel was launched on June 13, 2020.[20] It was instead replaced by a 30-minute edition of the network's hourly newsbreak News Patrol beginning Monday June 15, with 6:00 ᴘ.ᴍ. to 6:30 ᴘ.ᴍ. broadcast time. According to Atienza and Fullido, the newscast was excluded from the Kapamilya Channel because the newscast is already broadcasting on ANC, other digital channels, and social media platforms. On the same day, TV Patrol was shortened to an airtime of 90 to 110 minutes, giving way for the aforementioned airing of News Patrol and the simulcast of FPJ's Ang Probinsyano on Cine Mo! and Kapamilya Channel. The decision, however, would be later reversed giving way for the newscast to be aired on Kapamilya Channel beginning July 27.[21]
Failon's departure
On August 30, 2020, it was announced by ABS-CBN Corporation that Ted Failon would be leaving the network as part of its retrenchment program.[22] His final appearance was on August 31, appearing via Zoom with Alvin Elchico filling in for Failon on the day's episode.[23] The departure of Failon also led the August 31, 2020 edition to end with the song "Tinig ng mga Nawalan" (English: Voice of the Lost), sung by Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla in support for the retrenched employees. From September 7 to October 2, former weekday anchors Julius Babao, Karen Davila, Henry Omaga-Diaz, and current weekend anchor Alvin Elchico rotated as third anchor on the weeknight edition while Failon's replacement was yet to be determined.
2020–present: Noli de Castro, Bernadette Sembrano, and Henry Omaga-Diaz
On September 30, 2020, Davila announced on her Instagram account that former anchor Henry Omaga-Diaz was named as the permanent replacement to Failon beginning on October 5; ABS-CBN confirmed the development on October 4.[24][25]

Theme music
TV Patrol originally used Vangelis's "Pulstar" as its very first theme music, from March 2, 1987 to November 4, 1994. On November 7, 1994, "Pulstar" was replaced by Ryan Cayabyab's "ABS-CBN News Theme," which served as the theme of TV Patrol and the ABS-CBN News and Public Affairs division until 1996. The theme is currently used as a theme music for The World Tonight which was moved to ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) in 1999, with slight and more modern recomposition.
In 1996, when Noli de Castro became the sole anchor of the newscast, it adopted Gari Communications' "Allegro" from KPIX-TV, a CBS-owned TV station in San Francisco, California. Although, the news theme had also been used by KBAK-TV, a former ABC and currently a CBS affiliate in Bakersfield, California until 1997.
On March 12, 2001, when de Castro left the show for the elections and Korina Sanchez, Henry Omaga Diaz and Aljo Bendijo replaced him as the new anchors, the Filipino composition of Allegro was done with elements from the orchestra version and combines the elements of the original 1996–2001 version, the 1994–96 ABS-CBN News Theme, and the ABS-CBN's jingle.
The theme underwent re-compositions in 2002, which was also used by TV Patrol Sabado/Linggo from 2004 to 2006, 2004, and 2006, which was rearranged and composed by Neocolours's Jimmy Antiporda.
The theme music from June 30, 2010 to present, which incorporates the elements of "Pulstar," TV Patrol's 2001 theme, and TV Patrol World's 2004 and 2006 theme music.

Reception
In 1989, poet and literary critic Virgilio S. Almario was critical of TV Patrol's use of Filipino "siyokoy" words, loanwords from the Spanish or English language that are formed through a misunderstanding of Spanish grammar. As examples, Almario highlighted the use of the words "aspeto," "parliyamento," "pesante," and "konsernado," which he respectively corrected as "aspekto," "parlamento," "magsasaka," "paisano" or "magbubukid," and "konsernido." However, he still commends the program for "passionately" delivering news in the Filipino language.[31]
Accolades
The national TV Patrol and its anchors and reporters throughout the two decades of broadcast got various local, national, and even international recognitions, such as the Asian TV Awards, New York Festivals, and the International Emmy Awards, as reported in the ABS-CBN Corporate Annual Reports. On its 1987 launch, TV Patrol got a winning nod from the 1st Star Awards for Television formed by the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC). Main anchor Noli de Castro won the Best Male News Anchor that year.[32] The provincial editions of TV Patrol Regional and their respective news teams also got notable local and national recognitions (including from KBP Golden Dove Awards and Catholic Mass Media Awards.) Among the award-winning provincial editions and regional news teams hail from TV Patrol North Luzon, TV Patrol Palawan, TV Patrol Panay, TV Patrol Negros, TV Patrol Central Visayas, TV Patrol Eastern Visayas, TV Patrol South Central Mindanao and TV Patrol Southern Mindanao.
