Network synopsis
CMN Radio pipes in a cumulative 9 hours of news content to its member-stations via its syndicated 90-minute national morning newscast CMN Pilipinas on weekdays and its Saturday health show Sagip Buhay. Outside its news hours, the content is satellite-exclusive, with the station serving as the Philippine relay broadcaster of EWTN Global Catholic Radio, occupying the midday and off-peak hours. Automated musical programming, and simulcasts of 99.1 Spirit FM Batangas's select program grids since March 19, 2018, is scheduled on the weekdays in between EWTN blocks and closedown, and weekends.
Unlike other national radio networks, programming distributed to stations outside its regular news service is done on special religious events, pooling with TV Maria and the local station in the area of the event.
