ABS-CBN’s flagship news programs, ‘TV Patrol’ and ‘TV Patrol Weekend,’ are poised to return to channel 2, as they are scheduled to be broadcast on ALLTV commencing April 15.
In an announcement made during the April 13 episode, seasoned journalists Alvin Elchico and Zen Hernandez conveyed the news, expressing gratitude for the steadfast support of viewers.

Hernandez encouraged the audience to engage with the news program across all platforms, saying, “Samahan nyo po kami sa aming pagbabalita araw-araw”.
In addition to ALLTV, ‘TV Patrol’ will be accessible on A2Z, ANC, Kapamilya Channel, Teleradyo Serbisyo, and radio channel DWPN.

‘TV Patrol,’ which airs on weeknights at 6:30 p.m., features esteemed hosts Noli De Castro, Karen Davila, Henry Omaga-Diaz, and Bernadette Sembrano, alongside Gretchen Fullido, Ariel Rojas, Winnie Cordero, and Migs Bustos.
Meanwhile, the weekend edition, led by Elchico and Hernandez, offers comprehensive coverage of news and events.
ALLTV’s frequency was formerly under ABS-CBN’s ownership until the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) ordered the network’s shutdown in 2020, leading to its cessation of operations on May 5 of the same year.
