TV Patrol World is the flagship national network news broadcast of ABS-CBN in the Philippines. Since its inception in 1987 (as TV Patrol), it has been the and longest running Filipino primetime newscast. The newscast pioneered the Philippine newscasts, with fast-paced delivery of news reports, accompanied with flashy graphic animations and music. This was soon imitated by other newscasts in the Philippines.

It is broadcast from the ABS-CBN Broadcast Complex in Quezon City.

At present, the newscasts' main anchors are Failon, Babao, and Karen Davila. Aside from the three, special segments are anchored by Marc Logan (on weekends), Kuya Kim Atienza (weather and animal trivia), and Phoemela Baranda (Star Patrol). It is aired nationwide by the network every Weeknights at 6:30-7:45 p.m. Manila time (10:30 a.m. UTC, 5:30 a.m. US EST). It is also shown abroad through The Filipino Channel, and simulcasted via the AM radio station dZMM 630-kHz. TV Patrol World recently updated it's logo design, soundtrack and 3D graphic animation sets but the news format remain the same, with floating large rear projection screens that allow the anchors to virtually "talk" to correspondents in live feeds (usually used during weekend editions).


[edit] Nationwide ratings

In the January 15, 2007 issue of BusinessWorld, a local broadsheet containing Business reports, AGB-Nielsen Media Research, the official ratings provider, released for the first time the official results of its Nationwide Urban Television Audience Measurement. The NUTAM was officially launched last October 16, 2006 to determine the TV ratings and audience share of local TV Programs from the different urban areas in the Philippines. The Nationwide Viewing Panel results for the week ending January 6, 2007, showed that in terms of individuals, 8 out of top 10 programs came from ABS-CBN with TV Patrol World being in the 8th place with a rating of 13.9 and an audience share of 45.4, while GMA's 24 Oras was in the 10th place with a rating of 13.2 and an audience share of 41.7. In terms of households, all top 10 programs came from ABS-CBN with TV Patrol World being in the 7th place with a rating of 28.1 and an audience share of 46.6, while 24 Oras did not make it in the top 10.[1]

[edit] Controversies

The newscast became controversial when Karen Davila lost command and control of an interview during the live broadcast of Fernando Poe Jr's funeral wake. While being interviewed by Davila, Susan Roces scolded ABS-CBN for its alleged partisanship in its election coverage last May 2004, and for capitalizing on personal hurt.[2] Roces stated her dismay on the news organization when the news team covering Poe's political rally allegedly made it appear that there are few people in the event. Davila apologized in behalf of the station for whatever pain they might have caused the widowed actress. Karen Davila burst into tears and embraced Susan Roces, which was seen on national TV. Despite the occurrence of the incident, the network still kept Davila for the anchor post of the news program. It was perceived by various media entities as one of the lowest points in local TV Broadcast History.

[edit] Theme Music

The music used by TV Patrol during 1987-1992 is from the Greek composer Vangelis with the track "Pulstar". After that on 1992-1996, Ryan Cayabyab composed an original theme for both TV Patrol & The World Tonight. When Noli de Castro went solo in 1996, it adopted the music entitled "Allegro" from Gari Communications. To this day, TV Patrol World still uses the same melodic theme with re-arrangement done by Jimmy Antiporda.
