CNN Philippines was a Philippine free-to-air television network owned and operated by Nine Media Corporation, together with Radio Philippines Network (RPN), under license from Warner Bros. Discovery Asia-Pacific. It was launched on March 16, 2015, replacing 9TV, and was available on various platforms, including cable, satellite, live streaming and through the RPN network's television stations.[1][2] CNN Philippines was the fifth local franchise of CNN in Asia, after CNN Indonesia, CNN Türk, CNN Arabic and CNN-IBN (now CNN-News18 in India),[3] and was formed after a brand licensing agreement with CNN Worldwide and Nine Media in 2014.[4]
CNN Philippines' local programming was produced from Worldwide Corporate Center, Shaw Boulevard corner EDSA in Mandaluyong. It maintained its analog transmitter located at the RPN Compound, #97 Panay Avenue, Brgy. South Triangle, Diliman, Quezon City; while digital transmission facilities were located at the Crestview Subdivision, Barangay San Roque, Antipolo, Rizal.[5][2]
Citing financial losses, CNN Philippines ceased its operations on January 31, 2024. Its terrestrial television channel space was replaced by RPTV, a channel co-owned by Nine Media Corporation and TV5 Network; while its remaining news operations and assets are absorbed by Nine Media's indirect parent Broadreach Media Holdings to form NewsWatch Plus.
