TV Patrol was the last program to air before ABS-CBN signed off on free-to-air television in May 5, 2020 after the network was forced to cease and desist its broadcast operations by orders of the National Telecommunications Commission after its legislative franchise expired. Undeterred, TV Patrol resumed its broadcast on YouTube and Facebook one day later, before returning on cable and satellite through Kapamilya Channel and ANC. The program was and still is simulcast on iWantTFC, TFC IPTV, Kapamilya Online Live, and The Filipino Channel.
On January 1, 2022, the weekend edition of TV Patrol made a comeback on free-to-air television, A2Z, through a blocktime agreement with ZOE Broadcasting Network. The weekday edition subsequently aired two days later. The program regained its AM radio platform in 2023 after ABS-CBN entered a content partnership with Prime Media Holdings. The joint venture's flagship station, DWPM Radyo 630, airs a live simulcast and a morning encore of TV Patrol.
It is currently anchored by Noli de Castro, Karen Davila, Bernadette Sembrano and Henry Omaga-Diaz. Previous anchors include Mel Tiangco, Frankie Evangelista, Ted Failon, Korina Sanchez and Julius Babao.
