On March 16, 2020, "TV Patrol" began to air on a late night timeslot (as a replay), temporarily replacing the timeslot of late-night newscast "Bandila" due to the Enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. On the same day, it began to be simulcast on the ABS-CBN News Channel, the first ever simulcast since the cable channel's 1996 launch. The decision to adopt late night replays led to yet another adjustment, with the telecast frequently extending their airtime to at least two hours. This led to a shift in Primetime Bida's schedule during the enhanced community quarantine.
