GMA Network Inc. has expanded its footprint in the provinces with the launch of its 12th regional network in Ilocos Norte. 'With the launch of GMA Ilocos Norte Station as one of the key hubs of GMA Regional TV, this strengthens our local news coverage in north Central Luzon,' said the First Vice President and Head of GMA Regional TV and Synergy, and acting head of GMA Integrated News Oliver Victor Amoroso. GMA Ilocos Norte can be accessed by viewers via GMA TV 5 on free TV, GMA Affordabox, and GMA Now. It is GMA Network's fifth regional station in Luzon after GMA Dagupan, GMA Ilocos Sur, GMA Bicol, and GMA Batangas. In 2022, GMA Network continued its dominance in key regional cities. Data from Metro Cities TV Audience Measurement (MCTAM) cited that GMA reached 99 percent or an estimated 344,000 viewers in Metro Dagupan; 93 percent (2 million viewers) in Metro Cebu; and 96 percent (2 million viewers) in Metro Davao for the full year 2022. At present, GMA has five regional stations in Luzon, three in Visayas, and four in Mindanao.
