Overview edit

The program preempts the second hour of Unang Hirit (around 6:00 to 7:00am) block. Few days after the finale, it was revealed that the program was cancelled by the network due to the strategic streamlining undertaken to all of its regional stations.[2]

GMA Dagupan would not have a regional morning newscast until five years later, with the launch of Mornings with GMA Regional TV.
