24 Oras Ilokano, formerly Balitang Ilokano is the regional news broadcast of GMA Network in the Ilocos Region. It premiered on June 25, 2012 weeks after the launching of the regional station GMA Ilocos.^[1] The program delivers news and current events coming from the Ilocos provinces, Abra and Parts of La Union in Ilokano. It is initially aired live weekdays from GMA Ilocos studios at 5:05- 5:50 PM, but was moved to the 5:15-6:30PM time slot.

The newscast's anchor Jorge Guerrero left Balitang Amianan (another regional newscast of the network in Luzon) for Balitang Ilokano.

Following the changes on its now-main newscast 24 Oras, Balitang Ilokano was rebranded as 24 Oras Ilokano since November 10, 2014.^[2]
