In 2007, GKTV was rebranded as PCTV (Philippine Cable Television) and began airing news and public service programming that eventually evolved into Global News Network (GNN) aired on March 24, 2008.[2]

GNN was then available on Channel 8 via Global Destiny Cable and Channel 1 via G Sat. Five UHF free-TV stations have been successfully established in the past six months; for Pampanga (UHF Channel 44), Cagayan de Oro (UHF Channel 45), Zamboanga (UHF Channel 43), Baguio (UHF Channel 48), and Naga (UHF Channel 48).

On February 1, 2019, as part of the channel's restructure, GNN was rebranded as One Media Network. During its transition period, it aired promo advertisements from various channels that are available on GSAT. Later on, new programs were gradually introduced and integrated to the network's programming grid. Its local affiliate stations in Naga, Pampanga and Cagayan de Oro remained active of its own programming while retaining the GNN brand until during the second quarter of 2019, when they followed the suit without changes on programming.

On May 1, 2021, to avoid confusion with One Network Media Group owned by PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund's broadcasting division MediaQuest Holdings and Cignal TV, One Media was reverted to GNN under its new name Golden Nation Network. The latter is adapted from the sister company of GSTS which also granted its Congressional broadcast franchise.[3]
