Dobol B TV, formerly known as Dobol B sa News TV, is a news radio program block broadcast by GMA News TV and GTV. It premiered on February 28, 2011, consisting of some programs simulcast from radio station Super Radyo DZBB 594 in the form of its live video feed.
The program is streaming online on YouTube.
History[]
In 2011, DZBB began its simulcast on television with the launch of Dobol B sa News TV block, which officially launched coinciding with the inauguration of GMA News TV. The block included its top-rated programs such as Saksi sa Dobol B and Super Balita sa Umaga Nationwide. However, it ended its simulcast on September 7, 2012.
On April 24, 2017, Dobol B sa News TV returned on GMA News TV after a 5-year hiatus, this time simulcasting DZBB's morning programs, coinciding with the launch of the station's new jingle and radio studio. The original programs Saksi sa Dobol B and Super Balita sa Umaga Nationwide returned to the network, with DZBB's mid-morning shows Sino? (with segments Jeng-Jeng and Balitawit) and Dobol A sa Dobol B added on the said block.
In 2018, Saksi sa Dobol B's timeslot was cut due to the ilness of Mike Enriquez, with the Sino? segment now becoming a program of its own with the 9-9:30am slot taken over by a new program, Anong Say Nyo?.
On April 24, 2019, ZOE Broadcasting Network and GMA/Citynet announced that the blocktime agreement between their networks was not going to be renewed and effectively ended their partnership and lease blocktime on VHF Channel 11 after almost 14 years. As a result, Channel 27 was re-utilized to broadcast GMA News TV on June 4, 2019, after 18 years of dormancy. With this transfer, Dobol B sa News TV block extended its airtime until midday (6:00 AM-12:00 NN, filling the timeslot of News to Go and the first thirty minutes of Balitanghali). Additionally, the block also started airing into the weekend beginning on the same day. The revamped lineup included new programs as well as existing Super Radyo programs that have not been aired on the block before.
From March 19 to 20, 2020, GMA News TV was put off the air in line with the enhanced community quarantine, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The television simulcast of Melo del Prado sa Super Radyo DZBB aired temporarily on GMA Network. GMA News TV returned to broadcasting (albeit on a truncated 12-14 hour daily operation) on March 21, with the expanded edition of Dobol B sa News TV airing into the evening as its sole program. Dobol B included the afternoon programs from the station that were never been aired on television.
On February 22, 2021, Dobol B sa News TV was carried over on GMA News TV's replacement network GTV, and was renamed as Dobol B TV.
