History

ABS-CBN Laoag opens as a relay TV station (TV-7) since 1992. It launches TV-7 as an originating TV station in 1997. Meeting the need of Ilocanos for news in and out of Laoag and in the Ilocano language, TV-7 premiers its own TV Patrol on September 1. It launches its new radio station MOR 95.5 Laoag in 1999 and in 2008, it opens its relay station TV-11 / 34 Vigan.

Guerrero-Andal era

TV Patrol Laoag premiered on September 1, 1997 with veteran journalist Jorge Guerrero as first anchor. It was then the first Ilocano-language newscast seen entirely in the province of Ilocos Norte and some parts of Ilocos Sur and Cagayan. When Guerrero left the newscast to join GMA 7, Senior Reporter Victor Andal became anchor in May 2001. Andal dominated all local newscasts in the province and nominated for "Best Regional TV Anchor" nationwide. He was also a correspondent of DZMM TeleRadyo, a 24-hour news/talk radio station of ABS-CBN in Mega Manila that is broadcast simultaneously on radio and television worldwide via The Filipino Channel, Sky Cable, Destiny Cable and digital free TV.

Andal-Soriano era

On October 27, 2008 TV Patrol Laoag was renamed TV Patrol Ilocos to signify a wider coverage in the establishment of News Bureau in Ilocos Sur. Reporter Monette Soriano joins Victor Andal anchoring the newscast. Andal later left the newscast and migrated to Canada and followed by the management decision to terminate contract of then remaining anchor Monette Soriano.

Realgo and Rieta era

On December 14, 2009, TV Patrol Ilocos introduced Ilocos Sur reporter Bryan Realgo as sole anchor. When Realgo decided to focus news operations in Ilocos Sur and became Senior Reporter then newly hired Hadji Rieta replaced him. Rieta anchored the newscast for one year from March 1, 2010 to 2011 then later transferred to GMA 7.

Alba era

Also in 2011, then newly hired reporter Grace Alba became the sole anchor of the newscast replacing Rieta.

In 2013, TV Patrol Ilocos reformatted their logo, opening titles, and graphics similar to the main newscast.

In 2016, TV Patrol Ilocos updated their logo, graphics (with the font of the lower thirds and ticker now with Gotham and video packages, now matching the national TV Patrol), while retaining its 2013 logo on its opening billboard. This is the sixth newscast to update its graphics and exactly match the new graphics to the national newscast after TV Patrol Central Visayas, TV Patrol Socsksargen, TV Patrol Central Mindanao and TV Patrol Chavacano.
