The station derives its name from the nearby barangay of Kamuning and the road sharing the same name, as well as, apparently, the adjacent GMA Network Center, which serves as the headquarters of GMA Network Inc.

[3] In 2025, the station's name was adopted for the GMA Network's official subreddit, r/KamuningStation.

[4] The station is near Timog Avenue, known for being an entertainment district of Quezon City, as well as the GMA Network Center, Manuel L. Quezon University, Victoria Sports Tower, Anchor Tower, and Department of Public Works and Highways – Quezon City 2nd District Engineering Office.

It is near Quezon City's Diliman area, where Public-Private Partnership Center, Land Transportation Office, Philippine Statistics Authority, National Irrigation Administration, and Philippine Heart Center in Triangle Park are accessible via East Avenue.

[3] Jeepneys serve the area, with a northbound terminal at the intersection of EDSA and East Avenue, and both jeepneys and buses operate along the East and Timog Avenue routes.
