In 2006, it became the first Philippine news program to broadcast the victory of the First Philippine Mount Everest Expedition.
On April 1, 2018, News Patrol switched to high definition format (alongside with other network's main channel news programs).

On May 5, 2020, News Patrol aired its last bulletin on ABS-CBN and was suspended after the network was forced to cease and desist its free TV broadcasting operations given by the order of the NTC.
