History

In 1965, DXSS-TV began broadcasting on channel 7. It was owned by the Southern Broadcasting Network and affiliated with the Republic Broadcasting System, GMA's predecessor, While followed by the establishment of provincial stations of ABS Channel 4 (owned by ABS-CBN Corporation's predecessor Alto Broadcasting System). DXSS-TV shut down on September 21, 1972, following the declaration of martial law by then-President Ferdinand Marcos by the virtue of Proclamation 1081.

In 1974, DXSS-TV returned to the air; the network also began its first local newscast of News at Seven Davao during the same year. It also launched its Cebuano drama series Goot da Wanderpol, which was syndicated from its co-owned station in Cebu from 1980 to 1985.

On April 30, 1992, following the network's expansion of coverage, DXSS-TV was integrated into the Rainbow Satellite Network nationwide satellite broadcast to bring live broadcasts of national and foreign programming from Manila-based DZBB-TV, the network's flagship TV station, to viewers in the Davao region, with added opt-outs to serve local audiences.

In late 1998, GMA acquired the channel 5 frequency, having transferred its transmitter from its original site in Tagum, Davao del Norte to Shrine Hills. Channel 5 relaunched as a GMA station with the call sign DXMJ-TV. A year later, GMA restored local programming with the return of a local newscast, known as Testigo: GMA Super Balita, covering the Davao City area. Also, GMA's television operation in Davao then moved to the Amesco Building, which had already been housing the GMA radio stations. It would remain there until relocating to Shrine Hills, Matina, in 2008.

On December 31, 1999 GMA special Global Millennium Day got a regional version to be served to Cebuano residence and including regional host. Then it was simulcast from GMA Manila (for the Regine Velasquez performance called Written in the Sands) and the regional feed were simulcast all over Mindanao via relayers. Also it had a radio version via DXGM 1125 and Campus Radio stations all around Mindanao area.

GMA Davao started conducting digital test broadcasts on UHF channel 37 in 2018, covering Metro Davao and the provinces of Davao del Norte and Davao del Sur, as well as several parts of Davao de Oro.

Local programming

GMA Davao currently produces two news programs on weekdays that are broadcast throughout Mindanao: One Mindanao , a local evening newscast begun in 2017 and At Home with GMA Regional TV , a now-defunct morning program started in 2020 until it ended in 2024. In addition, GMA Davao produces annual coverage of the Kadayawan Festival.

Previous efforts at local news programming—morning show Una Ka BAI, the newscast 24 Oras Davao (previously Testigo) and a local edition of the Isyu Ngayon news magazine—were scrapped in 2015 and 2016 respectively, as part of retrenchment in GMA's regional news operations. Biyaheng DO30, focused primarily on Davao city government issues. However, the program ended on December 25, 2022.
