History

The newscast premiered on April 12, 2004, replacing Balitang Balita. It was first anchored by John Susi who was held over from its predecessor Balitang Balita and former actress Ali Sotto. Sotto that time was with contract with GMA Network under its radio arm DZBB. On October 2, 2006, the newscast exchanged timeslots with Big News, the evening news program of the network. Susi and Sotto were replaced by Martin Andanar, who became the final anchor of the newscast.

On June 25, 2007, Sentro was reformatted as an all-English newscast answering to Q's News on Q, despite the retention of the name and some of the opening text and ending reminders still in Filipino. This used to be the language of Big News before its main language was changed to Filipino in 2004.

On August 8, 2008, Sentro, together with Big News, aired its final broadcast; it is also the last program to be aired on ABC-5 before it signed off for the last time at around 10:00pm and rebranded the next day as TV5.

gollark: The internet connection here is *apiohazardously* bad and I'm forced to `pacman`-update over it.
gollark: I mean, JSON has problems, but it is at least simple and coherent.
gollark: Maybe? Less so for some.
gollark: I was looking at the WHATWG's documentation on application/x-www-form-urlencoded and it says this:> The application/x-www-form-urlencoded format is in many ways an aberrant monstrosity, the result of many years of implementation accidents and compromises leading to a set of requirements necessary for interoperability, but in no way representing good design practices.
gollark: I feel like they could probably just, if it's for array literals, get away with limiting it to 16 or so with no major issues.
