Airing history

NewsLife premieres on July 2, 2012 as a result part of the network's Telebisyon ng Bayan branding. It was anchored by former ABS-CBN anchor and reporter Robert Tan along with new anchors Isabella Cantu and Angelica Movido airing weeknights after PCSO Lottery Draw. It marked the return of English language newscast of PTV in the late-night slot after 11 years of hiatus (with National Network News) from 1998 to 2001 and the station's first ever English language news broadcast since 2001, when PTV renamed as NBN by switching the newscast to Filipino full time, making it the successor to the network's previous English language news broadcasts dating back to its opening in 1974. It was first revealed on their official Facebook and Twitter account. For a short period time, Movido and News@1 anchor Princess Habibah Sarip switched places as the latter joined a reality show in other network.

On April 1, 2013, Bianca Saldua and Catherine Vital are the new faces of PTV anchors, replacing Movido, they joining Robert and Isabella.

On July 22, 2013, NewsLife has adapted the new opening billboard (OBB) indent with 3D computed-animated graphics and opening titles.

On February 3, 2014, the timeslot moved its timeslot from 9:15pm (original) to 10:30pm (permanent) because of the success of the network's very first Koreanovela offering: You Are My Destiny at 9:45pm slot after the Philippine Lottery Draw at 9:30pm. The same night, in line with their 40th anniversary in the Philippine television industry, NewsLife will be reformatted its new title card, new redesigned logo, modified its newsdesk and new graphic design. However, Saldua left the newscast on March 31, 2014 due to participation at Miss World Philippines 2013.

On June 2, 2014, together with PTV's newscasts (Balitaan, PTV Newsbreak, News@1, News@6 and The Weekend News), NewsLife updated its news desk and a brand new studio set designed by Extremity Arts, which was exclusively done for Balitaan, News@1 and News@6.

Four months ago, on July 13, 2015, Georgina Ramos-Kettrick replaced Montano. Tan and Ramos-Kettrick left the newscast and eventually no longer contract of PTV had expired on September 23 (Ramos-Kettrick) and September 30, 2015 (Tan).

In October 5, 2015, Anthony Pangilinan marked his return to PTV after 20 years when he anchored on the defunct late-night English newscast News on 4 from 1992 to 1994. Anthony appointed as the lead anchorman, they joined Catherine Vital as the remaining female co-anchor and the return of Ria Fernandez replaced Ramos-Kettrick, and maintaining the same title card, soundtrack, and graphics. After one year (as male anchor for sitting the newsdesk and female co-anchor for stand-up news), their three anchors eventually sitting by the newsdesk. Two months ago, in December 14, 2015, Charmaine Espina appointed the newscast, joining Pangilinan and Vital and replacing Fernandez.
