History

PTV News as the flagship late-night English language newscast was premiered on October 2, 1995 replacing News on 4 and originally anchored by Erik Espina, Chichi Fajardo-Forbes, Chiqui Roa-Puno and Daniel Razon. As part the rebranding of the channel as "PTV Network" during the Estrada administration, PTV News Nationwide is cancelled on October 30, 1998 replaced by National Network News until July 13, 2001.
The network formerly produced an afternoon, primetime, late night and weekend editions of the newscast from July 11, 2016 to July 9, 2017 as a result of programming changes brought about by the assumption of Duterte Administration, taking over the timeslots of News @ 1, News @ 6, NewsLife and The Weekend News. This marked the second time that PTV's newscasts are in a single brand, the first being Teledyaryo which aired from 2001-2012.
It was initially replaced on July 10, 2017 by three newly-revamped newscasts: Sentro Balita, Ulat Bayan and PTV News Headlines, which was happened few days after the re-branding of the channel on June 28, 2017.
Roughly two months later, PTV News returned as PTV's premier early-evening newscast while introducing new anchors: Erwin Tulfo and Diane Querrer. Ulat Bayan then became PTV's weekend newscast.
As a result of sweeping restructuring changes brought about by a controversy surrounding Erwin Tulfo and his brother Ben with the Department of Tourism and PTV-4, Erwin was removed from the newscast shortly after the scandal broke out and a troika of rotating anchors filled in for his slot until June 2018,
Alex Santos and Catherine Vital became the new anchors of PTV News on June 4, 2018, formally replacing Tulfo and Querrer, the latter being reassigned back to Daily Info with Audrey Gorriceta. A new headline sequence and title card for the program was introduced on July 16, 2018, barely a few days after PTV's relaunch.

PTV News Mindanao

As part of the expansion of PTV's local programming, a 45-minute regional newscast, PTV News Mindanao was launched on October 16, 2017 and airs on PTV Davao Channel 11 Davao. It is anchored by Jay Lagang and Hannah Salcedo.
