DWRA-TV (channel 22) is a television station in Balungao, Philippines, airing programming from the GTV network. It is owned and operated by GMA Network, Inc. alongside GMA outlet DZEA-TV (channel 10). Both stations share transmitter facilities atop Mount Santo Tomas.
Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, DWRA-TV is considered a straight simulcast of GTV's flagship station, DWDB-TV (channel 27) in Metro Manila.
History
[edit]As QTV/Q, GMA News TV and to Channel 38
[edit]On November 11, 2005, the station returned its operations. DWNT-TV, together with other GMA's sister UHF stations nationwide, were launched as an all-female lifestyle channel QTV (standing for Quality Television; later renamed as simply Q in March 2007). With the return of its TV operations, its flagship station in Metro Manila was DZOE-TV—which GMA lease as part of a partnership with the religious broadcaster ZOE Broadcasting Network (gaining control of the station in exchange for providing equipment for ZOE, and allowing airtime for ZOE-produced programming on QTV), with the GMA-owned flagship station in Manila serving as a UHF translator (GMA had previously operated as the independent station Citynet 27, before it went silent in the middle of 2001). The new network would feature a lineup predominantly aimed towards women, with a mixture of domestic and imported lifestyle programs and dramatic series. On February 7, 2011, GMA Network announced that it would replace Q with the news channel GMA News TV. As Q's programming ended on February 20; the network, broadcasting under transitional branding Channel 11 (along with other stations nationwide), continued to air teasers for the impending re-launch from February 21–25, and signed off completely on the 26th and 27th of the same month in preparation for its re-launch of a secondary network a day later. On February 28, 2011, DWNT-TV and other GMA's sister UHF stations nationwide were reformatted and formal re-launch as news and public affairs channel GMA News TV, and as part of GMA News and Public Affairs's plans to expand its presence on free-to-air television. And in 2015, GMA News TV Benguet was transferred its channel assignment to Channel 38.
As GTV
[edit]On February 9, 2021, GMA Network announced that GMA News TV will officially rebrand to GTV on February 22, 2021, as the new news, entertainment and sports channel (simulcast of GTV-22 Baguio).
