News bulletins

Asia First

A breakfast news and current affairs programme.[18] Out of all other news bulletins, the show has the longest runtime of three hours, starting at 7:00am SGT. Asia First is a consolidation of two morning news predecessors: First Look Asia and Asia Business First. Previously, a half-hour weekly summary was aired on weekends, but that was later replaced by Asia Now's morning slots. The programme does not broadcast on major Asian public holidays, and during the two-week year-end period after Christmas (which lasts until the week after 1 January).

Asia First and its predecessor First Look Asia were simulcast on Channel 5 as de facto breakfast shows in Singapore. Simulcasts on 5 were cancelled after 30 April 2019 to accommodate children's programs previously aired on Okto which closed down the following day.
