Newscasting

Since he did not become a news anchor for GMA News, and due to TV5 can't hire news anchor from ABS-CBN and GMA when Manny Pangilinan acquire TV5 from Tonyboy Cojuangco in late 2009, Bediones became a news anchor of Aksyon alongside Cheryl Cosim and later Erwin Tulfo.

On February 18, 2011, Bediones left Aksyon to anchor Aksyon JournalisMO as a replacement for Martin Andanar. There he joined Cheri Mercado and Jove Francisco.

On February 22, 2012, Bediones joined together with Cheri Mercado to anchor a former news program entitled Pilipinas News replacing the former news program, Aksyon Journalismo.

On July 21, 2014, Bediones reunited with Cheryl Cosim for a new news program entitled Aksyon Tonite. This was Paolo's fourth over-all news program on News5 via TV5. He quit in late August, as he will shortly start a new restaurant business

Radio

Since Bediones did not become an announcer on GMA's Super Radyo DZBB 594, he became an announcer for Radyo5 92.3 News FM as a member of News5. There, he hosts Sakto kay Paolo, Sakto (rin) kay Cheri and renamed Trabaho Lang with Pilipinas News co-anchor Cheri Mercado airing every weeknight.
