History
It first aired on Channel 10 in Dagupan and its former news anchor of TV Patrol Dagupan (now TV Patrol North Central Luzon), TV Patrol Laoag (now TV Patrol Ilocos) and Dateline Northern Luzon (now defunct) Jorge Guerrero. In June 2012, Jorge Guerrero left the show and moved to GMA Ilocos to become the solo anchor of Balitang Ilokano (later 24 Oras Ilokano). He is replaced by CJ Torida. In May 2013, reporter Joyce Segui joined as Torida's co-anchor. The channel's biggest expose so far is about a casino which was established in Poro, San Fernando City, La Union.
To strengthen its commitment of bringing the latest, most credible and most comprehensive news from the region, in July 2013, Balitang Amianan started its international broadcast on GMA News TV International alongside other newscasts Balitang Bisdak and 24 Oras Davao.
Following changes of its now-main newscast 24 Oras, Balitang Amianan was rebranded as 24 Oras North Central Luzon effective November 10, 2014.
On August 31, 2015, 24 Oras North Central Luzon retitled as 24 Oras Amianan (after Ratsada 24 Oras of GMA Iloilo since July 20) with an additional segment called "Trivia ni Araguy".
On February 1, 2016, however, 24 Oras Amianan reverted to its branding Balitang Amianan, after more than a year hiatus. On April 18, 2016, Faye Centeno joined as Torida's co-anchor in the newscast.
Since October 3, 2016, Balitang Amianan started its simulcast on GMA TV-5 Ilocos Norte and GMA TV-48 Ilocos Sur and Abra as it expands its coverage area to the Ilocos provinces and some parts of the Cordilleras.
On January 2, 2017, the newscast updated its opening billboard and lower third graphics similar to 24 Oras, together with other newscasts Balitang Bisdak and 24 Oras Davao.
