D-12-ZB-TV (channel 12) is a television station in Batangas, Philippines, airing programming from GMA Network. It is owned and operated by the network's namesake corporate parent alongside GTV outlet DZDK-TV (channel 26). Both stations maintain analog and digital transmitters located at Mount Banoy, Barangay Talumpok Silangan, Batangas City, with its digital single-frequency network (SFN) relay station at Barangay San Jose, San Pablo, Laguna.[3]
In 2021, GMA planned to upgrade GMA Batangas to an originating station located at PNG Building, P. Burgos Street corner Rizal Avenue, Batangas City. In 2022, GMA revealed the name of the flagship Filipino-language newscast of GMA Batangas, which launched on February 14, 2022, entitled Balitang Southern Tagalog.[4][5]
On August 30, 2024, due to cost-cutting measures, GMA Batangas, along with GMA Bicol, was downgraded into a relay (satellite-selling station) and Balitang Southern Tagalog aired its final broadcast for more than 2 years.
