The newscast premiered on October 25, 2010 at 10:30pm. Co-anchoring it were Cherie Mercado, Martin Andanar, and Jove Francisco, all transferees from Aksyon Weekend. Andanar eventually left the show on February 14, 2011 to anchor his own TV version of Andar ng mga Balita on AksyonTV. Since no replacements was yet to be named for him, Atty.
