History
As TV Patrol General Santos (1996-2000)
Originally, TV Patrol General Santos began in 1996 as the then regional newscast for General Santos, with Bert Gorgonio as its first anchor and previously using the Cebuano language at its launch before switching to Filipino in 2000.
As TV Patrol Socsksargen (2000-2018)
In 2000, TV Patrol General Santos was renamed into TV Patrol Socsksagren, which covers the entire the Soccsksargen region, formerly part of Central Mindanao, Beginning on August 8, 2016, the newscast was the first regional edition to adopt the OBB from the national edition, which began earlier on July 4.
As part of cost-cutting measures in preparation of ABS-CBN Regional's digitalization to align with its flagship station in Manila,[1] the newscast extended its coverage into the Central Mindanao region, previously served by TV Patrol Central Mindanao, and rebranded as TV Patrol South Central Mindanao on July 2, 2018. This also signifies a unified regional programming for the Cotabato and General Santos City stations. Prior to expansion, the two stations only simulcast the regional morning show Magandang Umaga South Central Mindanao. Later on in the year, the merger also allowed the station to produce its own bulletin version News Patrol South Central Mindanao.
Dayupay, Canlas, Abrigana, Tabunaway and Mangompit also use the Cebuano language by giving news reports, taken from TV Patrol North Mindanao and TV Patrol Southern Mindanao.
