Singapore Tonight is a long-running flagship daily national news programme on CNA which runs daily from 22:00 until 23:00 SST/HKT (21:00 until 22:00 WIB/BKK) on weekdays and 22:00 until 22:30 SST/HKT (21:00 until 21:30 WIB/BKK) on weekends/public holidays, providing a round-up of all the day's events around Singapore and coverage of breaking news. The highly rated programme is currently presented mainly either by Steve Lai, Dawn Tan, Glenda Chong on weekdays, and Jill Neubronner on weekends.

Up until early July 2008, the show was aired live only in Singapore with a replay available internationally at 00:00 until 00:30 SST/HKT (01:00 until 01:30 WIB/BKK). In addition, a few segments of the show are available on the international edition of Asian Home News at 22:30 until 23:00 SST/HKT (22:30 until 00:00 WIB/BKK) and 10:30 until 11:00 SST/HKT (11:30 until 12:00 WIB/BKK).

From 31 March 2014, the programme was expanded to 1 hour to incorporate the Singapore Business segment (previously aired as Business Singapore / Singapore Business Tonight at 22:30 (GMT+8) ) and features two main anchors, Steven Chia and Dawn Tan. John Leong replaced Steven Chia on a permanent basis from 7 November.[1]

This is only one of two main English national newscasts available in Singapore; the other being News 5.

gollark: But several hours to go across the country is still quite significant, and if your passenger transport system cannot be used as a weapon of mass destruction it is not very good, so the obvious solution is ridiculously expensive rocket-based travel.

gollark: But rail would be quite fast, possibly cheaper if you ignore the huge initial investment, and could ship cargo!

gollark: Consider: interstate travel by road is quite slow, thus making the US significantly more divided. Airports are faster, but also more expensive and not good for bulk goods, plus security queues make things slower.

gollark: Small brain: interstate highway system.Large brain: airports everywhere or something.Large glowy brain or something: interstate high-speed maglev railway.Galaxy brain: interstate suborbital rocket system.Transcendent universe brain: interstate passenger railgun.

gollark: I'd hope shadowy conspiracies would be better.
