01Overview

GMA Network's chairman Felipe Gozon came up with an idea of creating a news broadcasting show for the network by merging news shows Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco and Saksi. 24 Oras premiered on March 15, 2004, broadcasting from Studio 2 of GMA Network Center, replacing Frontpage: Ulat ni Mel Tiangco. Newscasters Mel Tiangco and Mike Enriquez served as anchors, with actress-host Pia Guanio as the anchor for the segment Showbiz Time (later Chika Minute).

On November 10, 2014, newscaster Vicky Morales joined the show. On May 29, 2015, Guanio left the program and was replaced by actress-host Iya Villania on June 15. On August 24, 2018, newscaster Atom Araullo served as a substitute anchor for Enriquez, who went on a medical leave. Enriquez returned to the program on November 26, 2018.

In March 2020, due to the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; Enriquez temporarily took a break from the show, Tiangco anchored the segment Kapusong Totoo (transl.real Kapuso) through voice recording, Araullo and newscaster Jessica Soho served as temporary anchors, along with Morales and Villania and meteorologist Nathaniel Cruz all started anchoring their segments through their respective home. In April 2020, the show added sign language interpreters. On June 1, 2020, Enriquez, Tiangco and Cruz returned to anchor from the studio set of the program. On October 11, 2021, host Kim Atienza joined the show to anchor the segment #KuyaKimAnoNa.

In December 2021, Enriquez took another medical leave from the show. The following year, Villania returned to anchor from the show's studio set. On March 28, 2022, Enriquez returned to the show. In August 2022, he took yet another leave of absence from the show, until his death on August 29, 2023.

On August 7, 2023, host Martin Javier started to anchor the segment Game Changer. The segment was later renamed as In the Game in 2026. On November 20, 2023, news reporter Emil Sumangil became a regular anchor of the show.
