History

  • 1999 - IBC 2 ceased operations due to lack of transmitting and advertising financial operations of programs.
  • 2014 - After 15 years of silence, Channel 2 signed-on again and a new callsign called DWGA-TV was used by GMA Network Inc., which has now owned-and-operated the frequency.

  • April 24, 2015 - GMA Network decided to cancel airing 24 Oras Bikol as part of the strategic streamlining undertaken by the network. The station is now downgraded as a relay (satellite-selling) station.
  • February 1, 2021 - GMA Bicol is re-upgraded as an originating station with the relaunching of their regional newscast Balitang Bicolandia covering the following areas: Camarines Sur, Albay, Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Masbate and Camarines Norte.
