News anchors Pia Arcangel and Raffy Tima, substituting Arnold Clavio, ended the program's latest episode with a closing spiel, ''Para sa malayang Pilipino, kaisa kami ng lahat sa pagiging Saksi."
In the closing credits, the lights in the studio were turned off to highlight the screen behind Pia and Raffy that displayed a photo of the transmitter of their rival network, ABS-CBN.
After a few seconds, the photo on the background screen was replaced by an image showing the logo of the Kapamilya network on its main gate along Mother Ignacia Street in Quezon City with candles underneath.
The newscast did not play its theme music as well which gave moments of silence on air.
