GMA Balita

Overview

GMA Balita is the former evening newscast of GMA Network from 1986 to 1995. It replaced News at Seven as the network's flagship news program, and was originally anchored by Mike Lacanilao, Rene Jose and Helen Vela. The newscast was moved to weekdays at 6:30 a.m. when GMA launched the more fast-paced Saksi in the afternoon slot in October 1995. It served as pre-programming to the network's morning shows, Business Today, and later, Good Morning Asia.
