Airing History

Isyu Ngayon premiered on October 30, 2010 as a Saturday morning news magazine program replacing the Agenda series of GMA Regional TV in Dagupan, Cebu, Iloilo and Davao, a special series of forums and documentaries for the 2010 national and local elections. The program well known of being patterned with Sunday morning talk shows on the United States tackling political issues and human interest stories and was the network's answer to Mag TV Na. It was also launched on November 22, 2010 as a daily news magazine program following the launch of regional news and public affairs teams on their satellite stations in Naga, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro and General Santos as answer to regional editions of TV Patrol in these areas.

However, its editions in Dagupan, Cebu, and Iloilo were cancelled during the last quarter of 2011 to first quarter of 2012 despite garnering good ratings, and was replaced by travel show Let's Fiesta aired every Sundays. Despite cancellation of three editions, Isyu Ngayon remained in some areas.

On September 14, 2012, the Naga edition was cancelled following the launch of GMA Bicol and was replaced by flagship regional newscast Baretang Bikol.

On October 13, 2012, Isyu Mindanao was launched as a consolidation for Cagayan De Oro, Davao and General Santos editions, bringing back the simulcast of Testigo in General Santos. Eventually it was replaced by Isyu ug Istorya on July 19, 2014.

The Cagayan de Oro edition was later on replaced by Testigo Northern Mindanao following the launch of GMA Northern Mindanao on February 4, 2013.

The Bacolod edition, which was the only daily edition using the Isyu Ngayon brand, was aired side by side with Ratsada of GMA Iloilo and later stopped, this edition became the flagship news and public affairs program of GMA Bacolod. However, on April 24, 2015, as the strategic streamlining undertaken in its regional stations, this remaining edition was cancelled along with other regional news programs and closure of news departments in Ilocos, Naga and Cagayan de Oro.
