Probe (formerly known as The Probe Team and The Probe Team Documentaries) is a Philippine public affairs program being aired on ABS-CBN and on its sister cable channel, the ANC. It is hosted by Cheche Lazaro and is produced by Probe Productions Inc., under a joint co-production agreement with ABS-CBN.
The show, considered as the pioneer television news-magazine in the Philippines, started airing in 1977 on ABS-CBN, with Lazaro, Maria Ressa (currently ABS-CBN News Head and former CNN Jakarta bureau chief), and Luchi Cruz-Valdes (ABS-CBN Current Affairs Head and former GMA Network Executive who had roots with Probe) at the helm. After one or two years, it moved to GMA Network as a blocktimer. It was in GMA where The Probe Team had its longest run in its history.
However, due to a controversy surrounding one of its features which involved a Philippine government official close to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2003, its contract with GMA was terminated. As a result, it moved to ABC and renamed the show The Probe Team Documentaries.[1]
The show returned to its original home, ABS-CBN, in 2005, and was retitled back to Probe. It has continued the tradition of airing provocative documentaries and investigative reports.
