Before the launch of the weekend edition, 24 Oras occasionally appeared on weekends during special coverages (e.g., typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, and the Maguindanao massacre) and the weekend before the elections instead of airing GMA Weekend Report or Flash Report Special Edition from 2004-07 which also anchored by Enriquez and Tiangco (So have been called Tutok:Eleksyon 2004/2007. The two also appeared in Sunday edition before the 2010 and 2013 elections). Notable guest anchors (once appeared) for the special edition were Saksi anchors Arnold Clavio and Vicky Morales. On February 21, 2010, the weekend edition of 24 Oras was launched, replacing GMA Weekend Report.
