In the opening ident, Kaimo gave a sneak peek of the night's headlines with clips from the specific news items,after which,Mike Enriquez (and later, GMA continuity announcer Al Torres) provided the voice-over,From the award-winning GMA News and Public Affairs team, this is GMA Network News.to introduce the newscast and its anchorpersons.

The latter closing line was also used by himself in Saksi (when he returned and Morales transferred to the said newscast in 1999 after the premiere of Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco on the late-night slot) and on his DZBB radio program. Mel Tiangco would later use the same closing line until 2014 when Morales became the third anchor and used the same closing line as Enriquez-Tiangco on 24-Oras.Meanwhile, the newscast's weekend edition aired from January,11,1992-present,first,with Raffy Marcelo,Georgette Tengco,Gin de Mesa,They were replaced-by.eventually and finally,Jiggy Manicad ,Pia Arcangel-Halli,Martin Andanar,On-June,6,1998.and switching to Taglish.The-weekend-edition also eventually-switched to news delivery in Filipino at the same time on January,9,1999-present as the weekday-edition did and also its airtime was cut to 35-minutes.GMA-Network-News.continued to be the weekend newscast.
