History
ABS-CBN Laoag reopens as a relay TV station (TV-7). It launches its new radio station: DWEL (MOR 95.5 Laoag) in 1995, and relaunches TV-7 as originating TV station in 1997. Meeting the need of Ilocanos for news in and out of Laoag and in the Ilocano language, TV-7 premiers its own TV Patrol in 1997. In 2008, it opens its relay station TV 11 & 34 Vigan.
Guerrero-Andal era
TV Patrol Laoag premiered on September 1, 1997 with veteran journalist Jorge Guerrero as first anchor. It was then the first Iloko newscast seen entirely in the province of Ilocos Norte and some parts of Ilocos Sur & Cagayan. When Guerrero left the newscast to join GMA-7, Senior Reporter Victor Andal became the anchor on May 12, 2002. Andal dominated all local newscasts in the province and nominated for "Best Regional TV Anchor" nationwide. He was also a correspondent of DZMM Teleradyo, a 24-hour news/talk radio station of ABS-CBN in Mega Manila that is broadcast simultaneously on radio and television worldwide via The Filipino Channel, SkyCable, Destiny Cable and digital free TV.
Andal-Soriano era
On October 27, 2008 TV Patrol Laoag was renamed TV Patrol Ilocos to signify a wider coverage in the establishment of News Bureau in Ilocos Sur. Reporter Monette Soriano joins Victor Andal anchoring the newscast. Andal later left the newscast and followed by the management decision to terminate contract of then remaining anchor Monette Soriano.
Realgo-Rieta era
