Brief history
As TV Patrol Naga
Originally, TV Patrol Bicol (titled first as TV Patrol Naga) covered the provinces of Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur, southern parts of Quezon province, northwest parts of Northern Samar and some parts of the Bicol region from its inception on July 1, 1996 with Frankie Evangelista as its pioneering anchor and was aired only on TV-11 Naga.
As TV Patrol Legazpi
In less than a year after TV Patrol Naga's premiere, TV Patrol Legazpi was launched on June 16, 1997 with Harry Ebio, Jane Bermundo Hernandez, and Rose Olarte-Orbita as pioneering anchors. It focuses to the entire Albay, Masbate, and Sorsogon provinces and delivered in Albay Bikol language. With the reportorial team composed of Santi Arana, Rey Nasol, Fierre dela Pena and Alwin Llovit. On November 25, 2005, the newscast was cancelled. Despite cancelling the said newscast, ABS-CBN Channel 4 continues to deliver news via hourly bulletins with Jose Carretero as its anchor.[1]
As TV Patrol Bicol
On November 28, 2005, from the separate TV Patrol Naga and TV Patrol Legazpi brands, the network's two regional newscasts were unified under the TV Patrol Bicol brand, which now airs in the whole Bicol Region from the Channel 11 Naga studios.
As of September 12, 2017, TV Patrol Bicol is one of the remaining regional TV Patrol that currently uses the 2013 version of the logo, graphics and OBB of the national newscast (the others is TV Patrol Chavacano); though it partially added the 2016 version of the logo to its graphics package, similar to its regional counterparts by August 7.
On May 5, 2020, the newscast aired its final broadcast on television as the National Telecommunications Commission ordered to shutdown ABS-CBN, including its AM and FM radio stations and regional stations nationwide. It returned on May 8, 2020 on their official Facebook page.
