The program was launched on April 17, 1989, as TV Patrol Mindanao, the pioneer Cebuano language local newscast in the Mindanao area.

The language used was Cebuano. It had covered stories ranging from natural disasters, man-made disasters, religious conflicts, tribal conflicts, political controversies, social issues and crime stories in the entire Mindanao island. In 1993, Alex Santos, joined the newscast with Annie Gacayan and Bert Gorgonio. In 1994 the newscast was anchored by Art Bonjoc, Jr. In the 2001 reformat, it was anchored by Girlie Balaba (reverted to TV Patrol Mindanao) and Stephen Manangan.
