CNN Philippines Balitaan Kasama si Pinky Webb (simply "Balitaan" (lit. News)) is the flagship Filipino language noontime newscast of CNN Philippines. It premiered on April 4, 2016, and airs on weekdays at 12:00 NN PST. Balitaan took over the timeslot of the original noontime edition of CNN Philippines Newsroom and is anchored by Pinky Webb. Background It is the first ever Filipino language newscast of CNN Philippines, after the almost 1-year run of its predecessor, the original 12 noon edition of Newsroom. Balitaan is the second locally produced program in Filipino language next to now-defunct public service program Serbisyo All Access. Balitaan is unique among other midday and afternoon newscasts on CNN Philippines, as it is airs on its normal format despite any live rolling coverage (such as Senate hearings or important developing stories) that might pre-empt other newscasts in their respective timeslots. Rolling coverage continues after the newscast in case the former is needed to provide added information.
