Background

The broadcast debuted as Super Balita sa Umaga between 8 and 9 in the morning, running concurrently with Mike Enriquez's radio show Saksi sa Dobol B. The newscast was moved to 7 a.m. on January 8, 2007, after DZBB changed their early morning programming, and it began airing nationally via satellite. Joel Reyes Zobel, the station's program anchor and the voiceover for 24 Oras, then joined Enriquez as his co-anchor.

Along with Saksi sa Dobol B, the newscast started its simulcast under Dobol B sa News TV block on GMA News TV when it launched on February 28, 2011. The simulcast's first run ended on September 7, 2012, and the following month it was replaced by the morning show Kape at Balita. On April 24, 2017, after 4 years of hiatus, the newscast returned to TV as part of the second reiteration of Dobol B sa News TV, which is seen on GMA News TV.[1]

On February 22, 2021, coinciding with the rebranding of GMA News TV to GTV, the program has also carried to the newly renamed Dobol B TV programming block.

On August 13, 2022, Super Balita sa Umaga Nationwide began airing at weekends even though the branding remains Super Balita sa Umaga. All Super Radyo AM stations as well as hybrid Barangay FM Super Radyo stations in Kalibo and General Santos now broadcast the newscast's Saturday and Sunday editions.[2]
