In less than a year since its relaunch as a dynamic multi-platform and mega news organization, GMA Integrated News has cemented its position as the "News Authority ng Filipino."
Its flagship newscast, 24 Oras, continues to be the viewers’ choice for the latest news, breaking stories, as well as the biggest events here and abroad.
Data from Nielsen TV Audience Measurement show that 24 Oras is still the most watched TV program for January 1 to July 31, 2023 in Total Philippines (combined Urban and Rural). It recorded a combined (GMA/GTV/IHM) people rating of 14.9 percent.
24 Oras and 24 Oras Weekend tallied a combined (GMA/GTV/IHM) people net reach of 84 percent or 65 million viewers in Total Philippines.
Anchored by Mel Tiangco, Vicky Morales, and Emil Sumangil, 24 Oras continues to uphold the tenets of journalism and deliver truthful, balanced, and credible news and information, as well as top-notch public service to Filipinos wherever they may be.
Providing 24 Oras viewers the latest entertainment news and updates is “Chika Minute” segment host Iya Villana-Arellano.

24 Oras continues to evolve amid the changing landscape of journalism and news consumption.
With GMA Integrated News’ launch of the “GMA Integrated News Weather Center,” the network's flagship newscast introduced Maureen Schrijvers as its weather presenter to deliver weather news and updates weeknights.
Earlier this month, it aired its latest segment “Game Changer” with GMA Synergy sportscaster Martin Javier, featuring the latest trends and new discoveries on fitness, lifestyle, technology, and anything that can change the pace of everyday life.
24 Oras Weekend, on the other hand, is anchored by Ivan Mayrina and Pia Arcangel and airs Saturdays and Sundays.
