GMA Integrated News

GMA Integrated News (simply known as GMA News; formerly known as RBS News Department, GMA Radio-Television News and GMA Rainbow Satellite News; and later GMA News and Public Affairs) is the news division of the Philippine media company GMA Network, Inc.

The division produces news, public affairs, infotainment, and lately, and entertainment programs for GMA Network's free-to-air TV channels: (GMA Network and GTV), national radio station: (Super Radyo DZBB 594) owned and affiliated regional television and radio stations in the Philippines, and international TV channels: (GMA Pinoy TV, GMA Life TV and GMA News TV International).

Established in 1959 as the radio news and commentary division of Metro Manila radio station DZBB, GMA-IN is one of the oldest news and public affairs departments in any Philippine media network. Throughout its long existence, it pioneered trends in radio and TV news gathering and current affairs production.

In October 2022, following the retirement of Marissa Flores as the head of GMA News and Public Affairs, GMA Public Affairs was split into a separate division, and GMA News was subsequently renamed "GMA Integrated News" under the leadership of Oliver Victor Amoroso. The rebranding is intended to emphasize the combined resources of its television, digital, radio, and regional platforms as a singular, multi-platform news operation.

The GMA Integrated News Weather Center is the news division's weather forecasting subdivision originally launched in 2010 as IMReady, a public safety and preparedness campaign of GMA Integrated News' predecessor, GMA News and Public Affairs. IMReady is the country's first 24/7, one-stop shop for public safety information.

IMReady was forged through a partnership between GMA and several government agencies including DOST-PAGASA and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA). It also draws support from GMA's collaboration with Google and Waze.

In 2014, GMA New Media, the technology and digital arm of GMA launched the mobile application IMReady wherein users can see real-time information and updates including weather, traffic situations, and news alerts. It is available on iOS and Android phones.

As part of the changes within GMA Integrated News, IMReady was renamed to GMA Integrated News Weather Center in 2023, focusing on weather forecasting with an 'expanded' roster of forecasters, succeeding Nathaniel Cruz, who retired as its resident meteorologist.
