History

TV Patrol Central Mindanao began on June 7, 1999 as the flagship regional newscast of ABS-CBN Cotabato and also a replacement of Davao City-produced TV Patrol Mindanao. Prior to the launch of the standalone newscast, the network aired regional news advisories since September 1998 from 10:00 AM, 12:00 NN and 3:00 PM then in 2005, the newscast reverted to its original title.
In September 2016, TV Patrol Central Mindanao updated their logo, graphics and video packages, now matching the national TV Patrol. This is the third regional TV Patrol newscast to update its graphics and exactly match the new graphics to the national newscast after TV Patrol Socsksargen and TV Patrol Central Visayas.
As part of cost-cutting measures in preparation of ABS-CBN Regional's digitalization to align with its flagship station in Manila, TV Patrol Central Mindanao ceased broadcasting by June 29, 2018 and merged to TV Patrol South Central Mindanao by July 2.
