History

[edit]
  • November 1967 - The station began operations as DZRI-TV on Channel 10 in Benguet, becoming the first television station in Northern Luzon under ABS-CBN Corporation,[4] until it ceased broadcasting following the declaration of Martial Law by President Ferdinand Marcos in September 1972.
  • 1980 - Channel 10 was relaunched under GMA. The station featured its own version of the GMA Radio-Television Arts ident, initially with a light blue square logo and white text, later adopting a circle 10 logo. In its final years, the logo resembled those used by ABC affiliates in some U.S. cities and eventually incorporated rainbow-colored stripes in red, yellow, green, and blue.

  • 2008 - GMA Dagupan was upgraded to an originating station and rebranded as GMA North Central Luzon, primarily serving parts of Northern and Central Luzon, mainly Benguet, and Pangasinan.

  • February 1, 2016 - September 2, 2022 - Balitang Amianan returned to air after over a year-long hiatus and the temporary use of the 24 Oras brand.
  • October 3, 2016 - Balitang Amianan began simulcasting on GMA Ilocos, which includes TV-5 Ilocos Norte, TV-48 Ilocos Sur, and TV-7 Abra.

Since October 3, 2016, the operations of GMA Ilocos (TV-5 Ilocos Norte, TV-48 Ilocos Sur and TV-7 Abra[16]) was absorbed by the Dagupan station which led to simulcast Balitang Amianan and other regional interstitials, as well as some of the editorial and reportorial staff that are employed by the latter. GMA Ilocos were previously an originating station from 2012 to 2015, with its former flagship newscasts Balitang Ilokano and 24 Oras Ilokano. GMA Dagupan also reaches Nueva Vizcaya where it received signals when TV-5 Bayombong (D-5-ZR-TV) is currently inactive. TV-7 Batanes, TV-7 Tuguegarao, TV-13 Aparri, TV-5 Mountain Province, TV-7 Isabela, TV-5 Baler and TV-10 Olongapo were former relay stations of GMA-7 Manila before being reassigned to GMA Dagupan on March 2021.
