News Night (alternately titled as News Night with Pia Hontiveros) is the flagship national network newscast program of CNN Philippines, anchored by its Chief Correspondent Pia Hontiveros. The half-hour newscast airs at 6:00 PM on weekdays, while it's 7:00 PM slot was replaced by Filipino-language newscast News.PH.

History and development

News Night was first unveiled at an intimate network meeting on March 7, 2017 as a replacement for CNN Philippines Network News and as a part of CNN PH President Armie Jarin-Bennett's continuing program restructuring. Prior to the reformat, Network News had been the sole holdover from its premiere under Solar News but had been embattled by mounting viewer criticism over retaining the name despite the network-affiliation rebranding thrice during its near 5-year run.

Network promotional material tagged News Night as a newscast that goes "above and beyond the headlines".

News Night premiered on March 27, 2017, replacing Network News at its prime 6:00 pm slot. The newscast name and format was derived from the defunct CNN news program of the same name anchored by Aaron Brown from 2001 to 2005.

by February 2019, Tuesday and Thursday 7pm editions give way for the channel's weekly current affairs programs Politics as Usual (which airs on Tuesdays) and On The Record (which airs Thursdays).

Inaugural broadcast

Its first guest on its inaugural broadcast is PNP Chief Ronald dela Rosa. Dela Rosa talked to Hontiveros about the government's second attempt on its war on drugs.

Special editions

During news of urgent nature such as scheduled events, severe weather and breaking news, News Night runs two hours. However, when the most dire situations warrant, News Night will serve as a lead-in to uninterrupted coverage at 8:00 pm. This was notably applied during the Battle of Marawi. Hontiveros anchored for a cumulative of four hours monitoring the unfolding situation until 10:00 pm, breaking away for SportsDesk, before Mitzi Borromeo took the anchor chair at 10:30 pm.

2017 - Ka Doroy Broadcaster of the Year - Pia Hontiveros

gollark: I think my style is better than the Go one.

gollark: For "fast stupider web-y Python" Go somewhat works, but I don't think it's generally very good.

gollark: I think languages which do are generally better than ones which don't.

gollark: Yes. However, having a language which actually ALLOWS YOU TO WRITE THAT as a generalized thing would be better without compromising elegance with weird special cases like Go also does.

gollark: Parallel iterators would make that code clearer, actually simpler (not Go-"simpler") and less error-prone.
