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. Rachel del Mar became the program's new weather girl, who would always end the segment (GMA Weather Center) with her signature close,This is Rachel del Mar, your all-weather friend.However, Kaimo, Hontiveros and Ortigas eventually left the newscast as well On-May,29,1998.The former would move to ABS-CBN (to host The Correspondents and the Studio 23 (ABS-CBN Sports and Action) newscast (News Central), while Hontiveros ran for party-list representative in Congress and Ortigas at the other hand, currently as an Al Jazeera correspondent.On-July,11,2016-present,Balitaan anchor Marasigan joined Cristobal and Habibah-Sarip as co-anchor, replacing Kaimo as the main male anchor and female anchors Hontiveros and Ortigas.GMA-Network-News.became the first Filipino newscast to do stand-up news delivery inspired by American television network newscasts.GMA marked a history on making an idea of putting Filipino language on late-night newscast. Morales, in a interview of "Limang Dekada" in 2009, said in the mid 90's it attempted to switch the newscast to Filipino and the concept was "super radical", during that time, most TV station newscast used Tagalog-language on noontime-newscast from 1:00-2:00pm.The news department decided to try it in order how to get the response of the viewers, first was "Taglish" (a mixture of Tagalog and English) the latter said and eventually,Filipino on November,2,1998-present and also its airing was cut to 60-minutes.

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-Morales 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.
