ABS-CBN and GMA Network are complying with the guidelines set by the government concerning the COVID-19 outbreak by suspending production on shows temporarily and air reruns of their previous shows.
Kapuso PR Girl’s Twitter account posted GMA Network’s statement about their new programming schedule.
“GMA Network is staying true to its commitment to deliver Serbisyong Totoo most especially during these trying times through the continued delivery of the latest news and information to the public across all its platforms.
“On air, viewers could stay up-to-date by watching newscasts and other breaking news on GMA-7 and GMA News TV. Listeners can be assured that they can still tune in via Super Radyo DZBB 594khz, Barangay LS 97.1 and the rest of RGMA radio stations across the country. Netizens, on the other hand, will still be updated via GMA News Online and GMA News and Public Affairs social media accounts.”
