Overview
The show pre-empted the 2nd hour of Unang Hirit in the 6:15 am to 7:15 am block. This show is now also simulcast over GMA Roxas, GMA Kalibo and GMA Sipalay.On April 24, 2015, Arangkada was formally cancelled after more than 7 years without saying goodbyes to the viewing public, due to the streamlining of GMA regional network's operations that caused a massive lay-off of 24 employees of GMA Iloilo alone, including Arangkada hosts and staff.
GMA Iloilo would not have a regional morning newscast until 5 years later, with the launch of GMA Regional [TV Early Edition] on August 31, 2020.
