Dobol B TV (transl. Double B TV), formerly known as Dobol B sa News TV, is a Philippine television news radio program block broadcast by GMA News TV and GTV. It premiered on February 28, 2011, consisting of some programs simulcast from radio station Super Radyo DZBB 594 in the form of its live video feed.
On February 28, 2011, DZBB began its simulcast on television with the launch of Dobol B sa News TV block, coinciding with the launch of GMA News TV.[2]
On April 24, 2017, Dobol B sa News TV returned on GMA News TV.[3][2][4]
On April 24, 2019, ZOE Broadcasting Network and GMA / Citynet announced that the blocktime agreement between their networks was not going to be renewed and effectively ended their partnership and lease blocktime on VHF Channel 11 after almost 14 years. As a result, Channel 27 was re-utilized to broadcast GMA News TV on June 4, 2019, after 18 years of dormancy. With this transfer, Dobol B sa News TV block extended its airtime until midday (6:00 AM-12:00 NN, filling the timeslot of News to Go and the first thirty minutes of Balitanghali). Additionally, the block also started airing into the weekend beginning on the same day. The revamped lineup included new programs as well as existing Super Radyo programs that have not been aired on the block before.[5][6][7]
From March 19 to 20, 2020, GMA News TV was put off the air in line with the enhanced community quarantine, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dobol B sa News TV's Melo del Prado sa Super Radyo DZBB aired temporarily on GMA Network.[8] GMA News TV returned to broadcasting (albeit on a truncated 12-14 hour daily operation) on March 21, with the expanded edition of Dobol B sa News TV airing into the evening as its sole program. Dobol B included the afternoon programs from the station that were never been aired on television.[9]
On February 22, 2021 Super Radyo DZBB was carried over on GMA News TV's replacement network GTV, and was renamed as Dobol B TV.[10][11]
