Balitang Bisdak, formerly 24 Oras Central Visayas, is a regional news program aired over GMA Cebu. It provides news and features around Cebu City and Province of the same name and the rest of Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas and parts of Negros Oriental and Dinagat Islands. The newscast airs every Monday to Friday 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. with its broadcast center located at Nivel Hills, Apas, Cebu City. It is also aired on a slightly-delayed basis on DYSS 999 AM at 6:00 p.m.

History

The newscast was first aired on Channel 7 in Cebu on October 4, 1999, Bobby Nalzaro left as a national reporter and he departs back to Cebu to be a regional news anchor and became a solo anchor of the newscast until 2005 when Cecille Quibod-Castro became anchor with Nalzaro, and in 2009 when Atty. Rose Versoza joined in the newscast and stayed until 2015.

To strengthen its commitment of bringing the latest, most credible and most comprehensive news from the region, in July 2013, the newscast started its international broadcast on GMA News TV International alongside other regional newscasts Balitang Amianan (formerly 24 Oras North Central Luzon and 24 Oras Amianan) and Testigo (now 24 Oras Southern Mindanao).[1]

Balitang Bisdak ended its 15th year run on November 7, 2014 as it adopts the branding of its now-main newscast 24 Oras into 24 Oras Central Visayas effective November 10.

However, on February 1, 2016, 24 Oras Central Visayas reverted its branding back to Balitang Bisdak, after more than a year hiatus opposite GMA Dagupan's Balitang Amianan.[2]

Titlecard as 24 Oras Central Visayas used until January 29, 2016.
