# New Day (2016 TV program)

CNN Philippines New Day (simply New Day) was the English language morning newscast of CNN Philippines. Patterned after its U.S. counterpart CNN New Day, it replaced CNN Philippines Headline News. The show premiered February 15, 2016, as part of a major programming revamp brought by the appointment of Armie Jarin-Bennett as managing editor of CNN Philippines. It airs weekdays from 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM. It is originally anchored by Headline News holdover, the late Amelyn Veloso, and Claudine Trillo, as well as CNN Philippines Sports Desk morning edition anchor Andrei Felix and Atty. Karen Jimeno. Ria Tanjuatco-Trillo, Christine Jacob-Sandejas, Paolo Abrera, Dr. Freddie Gomez and Jamie Herrell currently serve as anchors. This was the last CNN Philippines live programs aired on January 29, 2024 until it ceased its live news operations after the morning newscast ahead of network's closure on January 31, consequently leaving the Indonesian version behind. It was replaced by Ted Failon at DJ Chacha sa Radyo5 on RPTV in its timeslot since February 1, 2024.

## Premise

The newscast's tagline is "Where we bring all the news you need and more", wherein the program will give a daily dose of relevant headlines, nationally, locally or internationally, as well as news from business, health, sports, entertainment, tech, trends, lifestyle and more to start your day right. It also offers one-on-one interview with different people to tackle latest topics.
