History
GNN was founded in 2019 as a successor to Global Kabayan TV (2003–2006), Philippine Cable Television (2006–2008) and Global News Network (2008–2019) and briefly rebranded as One Media Network (2019–2021; 2023–2024). The Golden Nation Network branding was officially relaunched in January 2025 to unify its nationwide presence and reinforce its identity as a public-oriented broadcaster.
Originally available through GSAT Channel 1, GNN expanded its coverage via free-to-air television stations and cable providers.
