Since October 3, 2016, the operations of GMA Ilocos (TV-5 Ilocos Norte, TV-7 Abra, TV-48 Ilocos Sur and TV-5 Mountain Province) was absorbed by the Dagupan station which led to simulcast Balitang Amianan and other regional interstitials, as well as some of the editorial and reportorial staff that are employed by the latter. GMA Ilocos were previously an originating station from 2012 to 2015, with its former flagship newscasts Balitang Ilokano and 24 Oras Ilokano. GMA Dagupan also reaches Pampanga and Nueva Vizcaya where it received signals when TV-10 Pampanga and TV-5 Bayombong (both former stations) are currently inactive. TV-7 Batanes, TV-7 Tuguegarao, TV-13 Aparri, TV-7 Isabela, TV-5 Baler and TV-10 Olongapo were former relay stations of GMA-7 Manila before being reassigned to GMA Dagupan on March 15, 2021.
