Overview

edit

The show pre-empted the 2nd hour of Unang Hirit in the 6:15 am to 7:15 am block (Philippine Standard Time). This show is now also simulcast over GMA Roxas (Channel 5), GMA Kalibo (Channel 2) and GMA Sipalay (Channel 10).

On April 24, 2015, Arangkada was formally cancelled after more than 7 years without saying goodbyes to the viewing public, due to the streamlining of GMA regional network's operations that caused a massive lay-off of 24 employees of GMA Iloilo alone, including Arangkada hosts and staff.[1]

GMA Iloilo would not have a regional morning newscast until 5 years later, with the launch of GMA Regional TV Early Edition[2] on August 31, 2020.[3][4]
