CNN Philippines Cebuano News is the flagship Cebuano-language newscast of CNN Philippines. It currently airs weekdays at 1:00 p.m. before Kapampangan News. It is the first regional newscast produced by CNN Philippines that premiered under its predecessor Solar News Channel and the first national newscast in Cebuano aired nationwide.
Background
The newscast was first known as Solar News Cebuano, a innovative program by Solar News Channel to deliver its trademark newsgathering into Cebuano language, the second widely spoken language in the Philippines. Solar News Cebuano was launched on January 28, 2013 and was first anchored by Menchu Macapagal.
The newscast was then rebranded into Cebuano News on July 21, 2014 upon the impending acquisition of Solar Television Network to the ALC Group of Companies a month later, with a new titlecard and graphic introduced on August 25, 2014 following channel's rebrand to 9TV. The current incarnation was launched on March 16, 2015 in lieu with the launch of CNN Philippines along with a CNN-themed graphics and a revamped news studio.
Prior to its current incarnation, the text in the lower third of the screen and most of its graphics uses the Cebuano language. However, the text was switched to the English language several weeks before the launch of CNN Philippines.
As of February 15, 2016, Cebuano News and Kapampangan News reduced their timeslot from their half-hour running time to 15 minutes.[1]
On March 18, 2016, Menchu Macapagal anchored her final newscast in Cebuano News as she will start her duties as a regular correspondent. She was replaced by Jun Tariman, a former substitute anchor of Macapagal and the executive producer of the program.[2]
