For its pilot season, Balitang Bisdak Senior Correspondent Nikko Sereno takes the helm as host of GMA Regional TV Live! Broadcasting from GMA Cebu’s studio, Nikko brings with him years of experience in field reporting as he dishes out news and information to fuel the day of Kapuso viewers.

Meanwhile, veteran news presenter Cecille Quibod-Castro handles one of the show’s major segments, “BizTalk.” Here, Cecille candidly interviews celebrities and personalities to discuss latest trends and advocacies. On its pilot week, GMA Regional TV Live! gets to talk with various Kapuso stars led by Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes, Asia’s Multimedia Star Alden Richards, Kapuso Primetime Princess Barbie Forteza, actress Bianca Umali and Sanya Lopez.
GMA Regional TV Live! will also give viewers the day’s weather with “Panahon Karon’” to keep them updated. At the same time, Kapuso viewers are sure to enjoy special features produced by RTV’s correspondents and video journalists all over the country. The morning program is produced by the same teams behind the top-rating and award-winning newscast, GMA Regional TV Balitang Bisdak.
Even when the key areas in the Philippines are under ECQ, GMA Regional TV has reaffirmed its commitment to deliver news and other relevant updates, continuing to air all its regional newscasts—GMA Regional TV Balitang Amianan, GMA Regional TV Balitang Bisdak, GMA Regional TV One Western Visayas, and GMA Regional TV One Mindanao—from Mondays to Fridays at 5 pm.
“Amid the health crisis we are facing today, we remain optimistic and continue to instill hope and inspiration among our viewers,” says GMA Regional TV Vice President and Head Oliver Amoroso. “While GMA Regional TV Live! has been in the pipelines as early as last year, we see this launch at this point as another opportunity to further serve our Kapuso in the regions by giving them more reasons to wake up each morning and start fresh. With years of delivering local news that matters, we are taking advantage of technology to bring more Serbisyong Totoo to our viewers in Central and Eastern Visayas. We invite all our Kapusong Bisdak to join us in our latest endeavor. Makakaasa po kayo na ang GMA Network at GMA Regional TV ay patuloy ang pagiging buong puso para sa Pilipino sa bawat sulok ng Pilipinas,” he ends.
