On March 15, 2004 GMA Network launched 24 Oras in Filipino from the Eyewitness News branding by WABC-TV in New York, originally entitled 24 Oras Dahil hindi natutulog ang balita as a 15-minute early evening weekday newscast. It was then anchored by Mike Enriquez (then known as "Mr. 24 Oras") and Marisol Abdurahman Saksi became popular in such a short time, that people were using the word as a catchphrase, complete with the pointed forefinger like the program's news anchors. In the early years of the newscast, the anchors, especially Enriquez, popularized the word "pasok" (come in) in introducing reporters (who included Jessica Soho, Arnold Clavio, Mao dela Cruz and Susan Enriquez, among others). This style of introducing reporters was also previously used in GMA's other regional news programs patterned after "24 Oras SportsPlus ABC Headline Balita 5Plus ABC Headline Balita SolarCity ABC Headline Balita Solar TV ABC Headline Balita Solar  ABC Headline Balita On July 25, 2005, Mel Tiangco joined Enriquez and Morales after the former's transfer from ABS-CBN when she suspended from doing a TV commercial. Economist Solita "Winnie" Monsod also joined the newscast with her own opinion segment, "Mareng Winnie" (which became a moniker by which she has been since known for). Other special segments, such as 24 Horas (light human-interest stories to cap the newscast, reported by Kara David) and S na S (Chika Minute sa 24 Oras) (a showbiz segment with Lyn Ching then she anchored with Enriquez Morales and Lazo) were also added to the news program, as its set was reformatted & running time was expanded to 30 minutes.
