'''D-12-ZB-TV''' (channel 12) is a television station in Batangas City, Philippines, airing programming from the GMA network. It is owned and operated by the network's namesake corporate parent alongside GTV outlet DZDK-TV (channel 26). Both stations maintain studios at the PNG Bldg., P. Burgos St. cor. Rizal Ave., Batangas City, while D-12-ZB-TV's analog and Digital transmitter are located atop Mt. Banoy, and the Digital SFN relay transmitting towers are located at Barangay San Jose, San Pablo, Laguna.
In 2021, GMA Batangas started planning to upgrade as a new originating TV station. In 2022, GMA revealed the name of the flagship Filipino-language newscast of GMA Batangas, which it had launched on February 14, 2022, entitled "Balitang Southern Tagalog".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2021/02/02/2074577/gma-regional-tv-launches-pioneering-unified-newscast-bicol-region |title=GMA Regional TV launches pioneering 'unified newscast' for Bicol region |publisher=PhilStar |date=February 2, 2021 |accessdate=April 13, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/showbiznews/news/84492/gma-network-unveils-line-up-of-world-class-programs-anew-for-2022/story |title=GMA Network unveils line-up of world-class programs anew for 2022 |publisher=GMANetwork.com |date=January 10, 2021 |accessdate=January 12, 2021}}</ref>
On {{date|August 30, 2024|mdy}}, due to cost-cutting measures, GMA Batangas, along with GMA Bicol, was downgraded into a relay (satellite-selling station) and ''Balitang Southern Tagalog'' aired its final broadcast for more than 2 years.
