Saksi sa Dobol B

Saksi sa Dobol B (lit. Eyewitness on Double-B) is a morning news and talk program aired by GMA Network flagship all-news radio station DZBB-AM, hosted by Mike Enriquez.

Background

The program premiered on February 7, 2000 replacing Tapatan of Jay Sonza since the latter transferred to DZRH that time, and as a spin-off of Saksi, a television newscast that Enriquez also hosted at the time. The program airs for four hours on weekdays, running from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. This also marked Enriquez returning to radio. The program was also simulcast on the GMA News TV channel as Dobol B sa News TV upon the christening of the said network. However, the simulcasts ended on September 7, 2012; instead GNTV aired reruns of "Front Row" and "Reel Time" on the timeslot formerly occupied by "Dobol B" as it would make way for a new morning show Kape at Balita in the following month.

From 2012 onwards, whenever Enriquez is not available, the news program is anchored by Melo del Prado on the first hour, then Joel Reyes Zobel and Orly Trinidad will anchor Super Balita sa Umaga Nationwide at 7AM. After the newscast, Reyes Zobel will solo-anchor the program up to 9AM. Arnold Clavio's Dobol A sa Dobol B will then take over the last hour of "Saksi sa Dobol B" at 9AM.
