Each of the five programs are broadcast on weeknights, and is aired first at 9:30pm (PST) on DZMM TeleRadyo. From December 3, 2012 to December 4, 2015, each of the five segments of Pinoy True Stories were aired on weekday afternoons on the network's Kapamilya Gold afternoon drama block. However, ABS-CBN Regional stations are unable to air this show in some provinces due to the localized versions of TV Patrol Regional; instead, provincial viewers would see the program on a morning timeslot, pre-empting 30 minutes of a Japanese anime series on the network's Team Animazing morning anime block. Since December 7, 2015, all the five programs of Pinoy True Stories are moved to a late-evening timeslot and now currently airs every weeknights right after Bandila.
Since 2014, Pinoy True Stories is not mentioned in all promotions relating to each of the five segments. Each of the five programs are currently promoted under the ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs programming. The EPG for SkyCable and Destiny Cable would mention in the schedule as "NCA Programming" instead of "Pinoy True Stories."
