CNN Philippines News Night (alternately titled as CNN Philippines News Night with Pia Hontiveros) is the flagship evening newscast of CNN Philippines. It premiered on March 27, 2017, replacing CNN Philippines Network News, which has been airing since the channel's predecessors Talk TV, Solar News Channel and 9TV, as part of the station's programming expansion since the appointment of Armie Jarin-Bennett as its managing director. Network News holdover and chief correspondent Pia Hontiveros is the anchor. Unlike its predecessor, News Night only airs Mondays to Fridays and instead Newsroom Weekend takes its place at the 6:00 pm slot every weekends replacing the weekend edition of Network News. Former Network News Weekend anchor Mai Rodriguez fronts the newscast.
The newscast name and format was derived from the defunct CNN news program of the same name anchored by Aaron Brown from 2001 to 2005.
News Night was first unveiled at an intimate network meeting on March 7, 2017 as a replacement for CNN Philippines Network News and as a part of Armie Jarin-Bennett's continuing program restructuring. Prior to the reformat, Network News had been the sole holdover from its premiere under Solar News but had been embattled by mounting viewer criticism over retaining the name despite the network-affiliation rebranding thrice during its near 5-year run.
Network promotional material tagged News Night as a newscast that goes "above and beyond the headlines".
On March 27, 2017, News Night premiered, replacing its predecessor at its prime 6:00 pm slot. It also debuted new and more interactive segments, making the show have the most newscast segments, a distinction formerly held by Serbisyo All Access.
