The show was first aired on CNN Philippines during its Paris attacks coverage of their parent network on November 14, 2015 (8:00 am local time), via a hook-up from the CNN/U.S. feed, and started to air during its Breaking News via a hook-up from CNN International starting 2016. Eventually, "AC 360°" added to its local programming on August 22, 2016, as a dry-run, but was reduced to 30 minutes, giving way for "Cebuano News". A week after, it was removed in the network's local programming lineup, due to CNN's initial refusal to air "AC 360°" on CNN Philippines. However, after the local "Newsroom" edition on weekday mornings went off the air indefinitely on March 17, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, "AC 360°" was reinstated as a one-hour program to fill the 8:00 am slot when CNN Philippines went back on-air on March 23, with replays at 11:00 am on Tuesdays till Fridays with Saturday episodes at 10:00.
