DXMJ-TV

In 1965, DXSS-TV began broadcasting on channel 7. It was owned by the Southern Broadcasting Network and affiliated with the Republic Broadcasting System, GMA's predecessor. DXSS-TV shut down on September 21, 1972, following the declaration of martial law by then-President Ferdinand Marcos by the virtue of Proclamation 1081.

In 1974, DXSS-TV returned to the air; that year, it also began its first local newscast, News at Seven Davao. It also launched its Cebuano drama series Goot da Wanderpol, which was syndicated from its co-owned station in Cebu from 1980 to 1985.

On April 30, 1992, following the network's expansion of coverage, DXSS-TV was integrated into the Rainbow Satellite Network nationwide satellite broadcast to bring live broadcasts of national and foreign programming from Manila-based DZBB-TV, the network's flagship TV station, to viewers in the Davao region, with added opt-outs to serve local audiences.

In 1994, GMA acquired the channel 5 frequency, used prior to martial law by ABC as DXMT-TV, for use as the GMA station for the Davao area, with channel 7 switching to SBN programming. Channel 5 relaunched as the GMA station with the call sign DXMJ-TV. GMA restored local programming with the return of a local newscast, known as Testigo: GMA Super Balita, covering the Davao City area. GMA's television operation in Davao then moved to the Amesco Building, which had already been housing the GMA radio stations, in 1999; it would remain there until relocating to Shrine Hills, Matina, in 2008.

GMA Davao started digital test broadcasts on UHF channel 37 in 2018, covering Metro Davao and the provinces of Davao del Norte and Davao del Sur, as well as several parts of Davao de Oro.

GMA Davao currently produces two news programs on weekdays that are broadcast throughout Mindanao: One Mindanao, a local evening newscast begun in 2017, and At Home with GMA Regional TV, a morning program started in 2020. Also aired throughout Mindanao is a public affairs program, Biyaheng DO30, focused primarily on Davao city government issues. In addition, GMA Davao produces annual coverage of the Kadayawan Festival.

Previous efforts at local news programming—morning show Una Ka BAI, the newscast 24 Oras Davao (previously Testigo), and a local edition of the Isyu Ngayon news magazine—were scrapped in 2015 and 2016, respectively, as part of retrenchment in GMA's regional news operations.

GMA Davao's programmings were seen in over fourteen relay/rebroadcasting stations in the whole Mindanao since 2017. Prior to its Davao-based satellite station, the General Santos station was previously operated as an originating station from 2010 to 2015, with its former programs Soccksargen Isyu Karon and Flash Bulletin until it was absorbed by GMA Davao which led to simulcast One Mindanao and other regional interstitial, as well as some of the editorial and reportorial staff are employed by the latter when GMA General Santos is not re-upgraded in the future. The Cagayan de Oro station was previously operated as an originating station from 2010 to 2015, with its former programs Northern Mindanao Isyu Karon and Testigo Northern Mindanao/24 Oras Northern Mindanao until it was absorbed by GMA Davao which led to simulcast One Mindanao and other regional interstitial, as well as some of the editorial and reportorial staff are employed by the latter. The Zamboanga, Sulu, Butuan, Kidapawan, Cotabato, Surigao and Tandag stations are formerly direct satellite stations to GMA-7 Manila before being reassigned as relays to GMA Davao since August 28, 2017. The Zamboanga station was later upgraded as a semi-satellite station for Western Mindanao as of October 14, 2021 along with General Santos station for South Central Mindanao as of March 21, 2022.[1]
