As it marks its 15th anniversary this February, GMA Integrated News’ (GMAIN) top-rating weekend newscast, 24 Oras Weekend, upholds its mission of delivering truthful, accurate, and reliable information to Filipinos here and abroad.
Airing every Saturday and Sunday at 5:30 p.m., 24 Oras Weekend is anchored by award-winning broadcast journalists Pia Arcangel and Ivan Mayrina, with Chika Minute segment host Nelson Canlas.
For the past 15 years, 24 Oras Weekend has always been at the forefront of public service, strengthening GMAIN’s commitment to “Mas malaking misyon, mas malawak na paglilingkod sa bayan.”
“Major events occur not only during the weekdays but also over the weekends. As I often remind the producers of 24 Oras Weekend, ‘Sunday is the new Monday.’ This underscores our commitment to continuous news coverage. 24 Oras Weekend will remain a vital source of timely updates, ensuring that our viewers stay informed every day of the week,” says Senior Vice President and Head of GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy Oliver Victor B. Amoroso.
A well-rounded weekend newscast
In 2024, it emerged as the top weekend news program and followed 24 Oras as the overall top news program in the Philippines.
Based on Nielsen TV Audience Measurement data from January to December 2024, 24 Oras Weekend logged a combined GMA/GTV/Pinoy Hits people rating of 6.7 percent in Total Philippines (Urban and Rural combined) — significantly higher than Frontline Pilipinas Weekend (combined TV5/One PH/RPTV people rating of 1.8 percent) and TV Patrol Weekend (combined A2Z/AllTV/Kapamilya Channel/Teleradyo Serbisyo people rating of 1.1 percent).
Through its diverse segments, 24 Oras Weekend seamlessly blends hard-hitting news and engaging infotainment, delivering inspiring features, heartwarming stories, and humorous highlights for the perfect weekend viewing experience.
“Saan Tayo” showcases the country’s gems, while “Good Vibes” spreads positivity and good news stories to brighten viewers’ weekend. “Weekend Do This” gives viewers fun and exciting activity suggestions for their next weekend getaway. “Kita Mo!,” on the other hand, dishes out practical tips and insights on financial literacy and earning opportunities, while “Usapang Pets” delivers heartwarming stories about pets and offers valuable pet care tips.
In its 15th year, 24 Oras Weekend will continue to develop features on food, health and fitness, sports, and tech, with a more in-depth analysis and understanding of the latest trends.
“Viewers can look forward to more of the same balanced and truthful news and information that we have been providing for the past 15 years plus even more segments that showcase good food, interesting places to visit, and new adventures to try — all the fun stuff that people like to do on their days off from work because after all, it’s still the weekend,” shares Pia.
“At GMA Integrated News, we have always held ourselves to a very high standard in the stories we report, and how we report them. Viewers can expect more of this high standard of news reporting, but at the same time they can also expect to see us in other evolving platforms, and in a style that suits specific audiences in each of them,” says Ivan.
“24 Oras Weekend is a real life-changer,” adds Nelson. “Pinalawak nito ang aking pananaw, at pinatibay nito ang aking pagmamahal sa industriya ng showbiz, and challenged me to better my craft as an interviewer. Bukod sa paghahatid ng makabuluhan at entertaining showbiz news, this is about connecting, celebrating, and telling stories that inspire.”
Catch 24 Oras Weekend on Saturdays and Sundays, 5:30 p.m. on GMA with simulcast on GTV and Pinoy Hits.
