Development XFM News Nationwide was first launched on April 8, 2024 across the network, replacing each station's local midday edition of
XPress Balita. The newscast was originally aired at 12:30 pm with
104.7 XFM Palawan's Pedy Bautista Sabando and Aizy Pacaldo as its first anchors. Former
103.1 Brigada News FM anchor-reporter Gilbert Basio served as regular relief presenter for Sabando. In January 2025, XFM News Nationwide was moved to 12:00 pm due to the decision of upper management to place

Roxas, Palawan in the
May 12, 2025 midterm elections. Aizy Pacaldo also went on maternity leave the same month, leaving Basio as sole reliever and eventual permanent main anchor until June 18th when she returned as co-anchor.
