GMA Network announced that it has adjusted its programming starting March 21 due to the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine which was imposed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“[T]he Network understands that during these times, reliable news and information is greatly needed by the public. As such, viewers could stay up-to-date by watching newscasts and other breaking news on GMA-7, which is now airing a new programming lineup. Beginning tomorrow, March 21, GMA News TV will air DZBB programs and simulcast GMA primetime newscast 24 Oras,” the network said in a statement on Friday.

GMA is currently operating via a skeletal workforce and adapted special work arrangements including working from home for its employees.

“This is in addition to the earlier announced temporary suspension production of all network-produced entertainment programs,” it explained.

GMA Regional TV meanwhile, affirmed that it will still continue to air newscasts for regions outside Metro Manila including Balitang Amianan for North Central Luzon, Balitang Bisdak for Eastern and Central Visayas, One Western Visayas for Western Visayas, and One Mindanao for Mindanao.

GMA Regional TV’s Weekend News will temporarily start airing on GMA-7 every Saturday at 10:30 p.m. starting March 21.

Aside from television, GMA noted that audiences can still tune in via Super Radyo DZBB 594 khz, Barangay LS 91.7 FM, and the rest of Radio GMA stations in the country. People can also get their updates online via GMA News Online alongside the network’s official social media accounts. — ZBC
