In 2021, GMA Batangas started planning to upgrade as a new originating TV station. In 2022, GMA revealed the name of the flagship Filipino-language newscast of GMA Batangas, which it had launched on February 14, 2022, entitled "Balitang Southern Tagalog".[1][2]

On August 30, 2024, due to cost-cutting measures, GMA Batangas, along with GMA Naga, was downgraded into a relay (satellite-selling station) and Balitang Southern Tagalog aired its final broadcast for more than 2 years.
