CNN Philippines Newsroom, is a newscast of CNN Philippines, airing thrice a day at 8:00 am, 3:00 pm and 9:00pm PST. Premiered on March 16, 2015 as a noontime newscast and expanded since February 15, 2016,[1] the 8:00am edition is anchored by Amelyn Veloso, the 3:00 pm edition dubbed as Global Newsroom is anchored by Claire Celdran and the 9:00pm edition is anchored by Mitzi Borromeo.
Background
As a noontime newscast
The newscast was launched on March 16, 2015 as a 60-minute noontime newscast, replacing 9TV's Newsday. It is first anchored by CNN Philippines News chief Jing Magsaysay and Mai Rodriguez, who was held over from Newsday.
In September 2015, Magsaysay left the newscast after his resignation following the "right-sizing" retrenchment of 70 junior staffers and contractual employees, who worked in the company for Programming and Technical Engineering divisions, leaving Rodriguez as the sole anchor.[2]
Expansion
On February 15, 2016, the newscast expanded its airtime, aligning with its international counterpart. However, the expansion re-formated from a single 60-minute newscast to three 30-minute editions in its initial run. The 8am edition is anchored by Amelyn Veloso, who formerly anchored CNN Philippines Headline News and currently hosts Serbisyo All Access. Claire Celdran replaced Rodriguez in the noontime edition while the latter became anchor of the network's weekend newscasts. The 9:00pm edition replaced CNN Philippines Nightly News, anchored by its holdover, Mitzi Borromeo. The English-language noontime edition of Newsroom was axed on April 4, 2016 and reformatted to CNN Philippines Balitaan with Pinky Webb.
On April 11, 2016, Newsroom debuted a 3 pm edition dubbed as Global Newsroom catering international news relevant to Filipinos, hosted by Claire Celdran.
