Airing history[]

2011–2012: Eigenmann era[]

News Team 13 premiered on August 8, 2011 at 11:00 pm, two months after IBC-13's relaunch which was brought about by the station's blocktime agreement with TV5. A result of the replacement of the former late-night newscast IBC News Tonight, it was first anchored by Cathy Eigenmann, who was the final anchor of IBC News Tonight and became the first anchor of the program.

2013–2014: Sonza-Lusuegro era[]

It was relaunched on September 30, 2013, along with Express Balita and IBC Headliners, with a new set of IBC news center, new graphics design, and the return of veteran broadcaster and anchor Jay Sonza after 3 year hiatus (with UNTV from 2004 to 2010 as the station manager) and Czarinah Lusuegro as their new anchors. Sonza became the head of IBC News and Current Affairs and the new anchor of News Team 13, replacing Eigenmann, and lending a face of credibility to the new network. Meanwhile, News Team 13 extended into a 45-minute newscast (formerly 30 minutes), airing from 11:00-11:45 pm.

On June 2, 2014, as part of changes brought by the launch of the ATC @ IBC time brokerage, News Team 13 extended into an hour, airing from 10:45pm-11:45pm.

2015–2017: Sonza-Eigenmann era[]

On January 2, 2015, IBC announced the return of Cathy Eigenmann, who formally rejoins the network as the co-anchor of Tutok 13, joining Jay Sonza on January 5, 2015.

On February 8, 2016, Express Balita and News Team 13 revamped its opening billboards, graphics and ticker; while the logos for both programs remained the same, the logos were presented in a 3D-like format.

Beginning April 27, 2017, the show featured PBA commentators as IBC Sports Center guest anchors, a segment that has been returned after quite some time. Rado Dimalibot, Kenneth Duremdes, Jayvee Gayoso, Magoo Marjon, Luigi Trillo and Jason Webb filled in the slot of Suntay per day.

August 8, 2016: 5th Anniversary[]

News Team 13 marks the 5th anniversary of the newscast in August 8, 2016.

On August 1, 2016, Sonza became the sole anchor of the newscast. On September 5, 2016, News Team 13 revamped its opening billboards, graphics and ticker, along with a new logo and a new theme music.

On April 3, 2017, News Team 13 cuts its runtime to 30 minutes and moved to its late timeslot from 11:30 pm-12:00 mn to give way for TreseBella's hit telenovela Un Camino Hacia el Destino.

2017–2019: Sonza-Baluyut-Jimenez era[]

On July 5, 2017, IBC announced the appointment of Veronica Baluyut-Jimenez as a new co-anchor of News Team 13 as she joined Jay Sonza on July 10, 2017. The same day, Express Balita, IBC Newsbreak and News Team 13 along with the launch of Daily 13, revamped its opening billboards; while the logos for both programs remained the same and retained in a 3D-like format. This also marks her first stint to IBC as a co-anchor after her transfer from another government-owned station PTV for 12 years (since 2005) when she was expired in 2017 as well as she decided will not renew the contract. The revamp unveiled its brand new improvements of overall broadcast GFX design and transition.

From February 12 to February 22, 2019, the main studio for this program and Express Balita underwent major renovations, that caused both programs to be broadcast temporarily from the IBC Newsroom due to technical upgrades, including IBC's transfer of its news studios from Broadcast City to its new refurbished compound in Capitol Hills, Quezon City, where IBC News Network's newscasts are located and from the IBC Newsroom.

Two week later, News Team 13 aired its final broadcast on February 22, 2019 in line with their preparations for the network's new late-night news program Tutok 13 on February 25, 2019. The tandem of Sonza and Baluyut-Jimenez were carried over as anchors.
