Launched on August 27, 2018, the newscast marks the return of GMA Iloilo as an originating station, almost three years after it was reduced to be a relay station ofGMA 7 Maniladue to mass layoffs and financial difficulties brought about by streamlining of GMA Regional TV's operations.This is produced by GMA Iloilo and GMA Bacolod stations which, before the initial closure of their news departments, aired separate news programsRatsada 24 Oras(formerlyRatsadaand24 Oras Western Visayas) andIsyu Subong Negrense, respectively.
On March 18, 2019, GMA Bacolod opened its studio, which is now used by the newscast. Before the launch of its studio, reports and headlines from Bacolod and the rest of Negros Occidental were aired live from the GMA Bacolod Control Room.
On May 27, 2019, Atty.

On July 29, 2019, the newscast unveiled a minor revision of its logo, changing its font color to green, reflecting its co-produced national newscastGMA Regional TV Weekend News(laterRegional TV Weekend News, nowRegional TV News), which was launched on July 27. It was relaunched on August 12, adopting graphics and studio sets for Iloilo and Bacolod stations similar to its sister regional newscastsBalitang Amianan(nowOne North Central Luzon) andBalitang Bisdak.The newscast also opened its doors to audiences every Friday but this was halted in March 2020 due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.

The interim Visayan regional-wide newscast ended on July 13, 2020, as GMA Cebu resumed productions of its local programs, includingBalitang Bisdak. The program also reverted its overall delivery medium in the Hiligaynon language with Prietos returning to the newscast as a co-anchor.
