Overview

GMA Network's chairman Felipe Gozon came up with an idea of creating a news broadcasting show for the network by merging news shows Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco and Saksi. 24 Oras premiered on March 15, 2004, broadcasting from Studio 2 of GMA Network Center, replacing Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco. Newscasters Mel Tiangco and Mike Enriquez served as anchors, while actress-host Pia Guanio served as the anchor for the segment Showbiz Time (later Chika Minute).

On November 10, 2014, newscaster Vicky Morales joined the show. On May 29, 2015, Guanio left the program and was replaced by actress-host Iya Villania on June 15. On August 24, 2018, newscaster Atom Araullo served as a substitute anchor for Enriquez, who went on a medical leave. Enriquez returned to the program on November 26, 2018.

In March 2020, due to the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; Enriquez temporarily took a break from the show, Tiangco anchored the segment Kapusong Totoo through voice recording, Araullo and newscaster Jessica Soho served as temporary anchors, along with Morales and Villania and meteorologist Nathaniel Cruz all started anchoring their segments through their respective home. In April 2020, the show added sign language interpreters. On June 1, 2020, Enriquez, Tiangco and Cruz returned to anchor from the studio set of the program. On October 11, 2021, host Kim Atienza joined the show to anchor the segment #KuyaKimAnoNa.
