Overview

The newscast covers the most significant news and features in the Bicol Region through the network's news teams from Naga City and news stringers across the region. It also marks the return of GMA Bicol as an originating station, almost six years after it was closed down due to mass layoffs and financial difficulties brought about by streamlining of GMA Regional TV's operations, thus resulting in the Southern Luzon stations broadcasting the entire national programming lineup from GMA Channel 7 Manila. Prior to the newscast's launch, GMA Regional TV already had its news team reporting and anchors for the national GMA Regional TV Weekend News (later Regional TV Weekend News), as well as in other local news programs of the network.[2][3][4]

Balitang Bicolandia airs from Monday to Friday from 5:00 PM to 5:30 PM, preempting the first 30 minutes of Wowowin on GMA Naga (TV-7) with simulcast over TV-12 Legazpi, TV-8 Daet, TV-2 Sorsogon, TV-13 Catanduanes and TV-7 Masbate.

Balitang Bicolandia was also re-aired for national viewers under GTV's late night block "Regional TV Strip" on a weekly basis every Friday night 11:50 PM, replacing the RTV Morning Programs.

The program also airs worldwide on GMA News TV.[5]

In late July, Katherine Henry left the newscast due to health reasons, leaving Palino and Cruzat as the remaining anchors. Cruzat became the solo anchor of the program several months after.

On January 26, 2022, former TV Patrol Bicol reporting Kate Delovieres joined Jessie Cruzat as his co-anchor of the program.[6]
