History

edit

News Night was unveiled on March 7, 2017, as part of a continued program restructuring at CNN Philippines led by president Armie Jarin-Bennett. It replaced CNN Philippines Network News, which had survived two brand changes in nearly five years on the air. The program debuted on March 27, with PNP Chief Ronald dela Rosa as the lead guest on the first edition.

By February 2019, the program's 7 p.m. hour was discontinued on Tuesday and Thursday nights to make way for two weekly programs, Politics as Usual on Tuesday and On the Record on Thursdays. The 7 p.m. edition was ended completely on May 18, 2020, to make way for the launch of News.PH Kasama si Pia Hontiveros as the channel's first Filipino-language primetime newscast.

On September 5, 2022, News Night was reformatted as an hour-long newscast in the Filipino language to compete with other early evening news programs in Filipino such as TV Patrol, Ulat Bayan, 24 Oras, Frontline Pilipinas, and Tutok 13.[1] It also aired on the All TV network under a content license partnership with Advanced Media Broadcasting System from September 13, 2022 to April 5, 2023.[2]

The program aired its final broadcast on January 26, 2024, as CNN Philippines ended its live news operations on the morning of January 29 ahead of the network's closure on January 31.
