The newscast was a tabloid-style format, delivering news headlines about the current events in the entire Caraga region.
It aired live daily from the ABS-CBN Newscenter (TV-11) in Butuan City at 5:00 PM, from Monday to Friday. It was also simulcast on ABS-CBN TV-12 Surigao and TV-26 Tandag and abroad through ABS-CBN Now and The Filipino Channel.
History
The program launched as TV Patrol Butuan, first aired on July 5, 1999 (along with TV Patrol Iligan on ABS-CBN TV-4 Iligan). It was first anchored by Andy Rara and Michiko Makinano then later with Trinidad Ladringan-Velasco and Richmond Hinayon. The program's last presenter was Charmaine Awitan. In 2011, TV Patrol Caraga celebrated its 12th anniversary and revealed their new news banner format on TV. On July 8, 2013, TV Patrol Caraga celebrated its 14th anniversary and updated its graphics, and video and audio packages. On July 7, 2014, TV Patrol Caraga celebrated its 15th anniversary in the history of television as the first in the region.
On July 17, 2017, TV Patrol Caraga updated its logo, opening billboard and graphics while its lower thirds are changed to Gotham font to match the national TV Patrol. This is the sixteenth regional TV Patrol to update its graphics, similar to the national newscast.
As a cost-cutting measure to digitalize ABS-CBN Regional stations, aligning with Channel 2 Manila,[1] TV Patrol Caraga ceased broadcasting on June 29, 2018, and merged to TV Patrol North Mindanao by July 2, carrying over Charmaine Awitan and all of its reporters to the newscast.
