[6] Solar News, known for its back-to-basics and unbiased journalism, was formed in January 2012 during the coverage of the impeachment trial of former Chief Justice Renato Corona.

Post-EDSA revolution ABS-CBN newsmen Pal Marquez, Jing Magsaysay and Pia Hontiveros, together with former ANC anchors Claire Celdran, Mai Rodriguez and Nancy Irlanda, were known as the pillars of Solar News.

SNC then launched its own mobile application for smartphone users with features such as live streaming, catch-up episodes (newscasts and Stories) and news from solarnews.ph.

Kids Weekend, Home Shopping Network, TV Mass for the Homebound, along with local informative shows like Something to Chew On, Boys' Ride Out, Drive, Good Company, Two Stops Over and Bogart Case Files, became part of 9TV's programming line-up.

[5][15]The following day, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Sonny Coloma was the guest of honor at the trade launch of CNN PH at the Philippine International Convention Center.

Along with newsroom renovations and strategic hiring of personnel, its newscasts began adopting the CNN graphic package starting on January 15, 2015 in time for 9TV's coverage of Pope Francis's visit to the country.

Additionally, Magsaysay left his sole newscast, CNN Philippines Newsroom, leaving Mai Rodriguez as the solo anchor.

Born and raised in Manila, Jarin-Bennett had begun her career as radio newscaster before moving as an intern in the CNN Center in 1996.

The channel also changed their theme music for their newscasts and bumpers while also adding new programs like the Philippines edition of New Day.

The font was later used on their promos, infomercials, and revamped bumpers from February of 2016, as well as their PiliPinas Debates 2016 (vice presidential leg) and Traffic Center.

Amanpour (whose select stories were featured on CNN PH's Global Conversations) was eventually aired but only during its discussions of Philippine affairs in global contexts; its first independent broadcast on CNN Philippines was on August 31, 2016 with Christiane Amanpour interviewing Senators Alan Peter Cayetano and Leila de Lima.

Since mid-September 2016, HLN programming was relegated to the cable-only overnight graveyard slot to make way for the expansion of current affairs blocks.

With her promotion, more CNN International shows began airing as weekend staples, notably The Art of Movement and Vital Signs with Dr. Sanjay Gupta, which premiered near the end of October.

Newsroom was further expanded to include a mid-morning Filipino newscast with Ruth Cabal, a former news anchor and reporter from GMA Network, which replaced Serbisyo All Access on February 6; it started a weekend edition on March 4.

From March 18 to 22, 2020, CNN Philippines was forced to go off-air after an employee working at the Worldwide Corporate Center, the network's headquarters, was confirmed positive with COVID-19.

On January 10, 2022, CNN Philippines was forced to go off-air again for the third time due to limited staff and lack of implementation of health protocols in the broadcast center.

[26] On December 22, 2023, TV5 Network entered into a blocktime agreement with Nine Media Corporation to broadcast the Philippines' longest-running noontime variety and entertainment show Eat Bulaga!

This marked the return of the two programs previously aired on RPN in order to strengthen CNN Philippines' weekend line-up.

"[35] On January 31, 2024, CNN Philippines quietly signed-off for the last time after their final interstitial A Moment of Serenity was played.

[39] On June 30, 2016, CNN Philippines was recognized as the Television Station of the Year in the Rotary Club of Manila's Journalism Awards.

[40] During the sixth EdukCircle Awards, Pia Hontiveros and Pinky Webb were given a special citation for their work on the vice presidential leg of the PiliPinas Debates 2016.

Two of CNN Philippines' news programs were recognized by the Asian Academy Creative Awards for national categories on October 15, 2020: The Source with Pinky Webb won as Best Current Affairs Programme or Series while The Final Word with Rico Hizon won as Best News Programme in the country.

[41] On January 28, 2016, CNN Philippines, through RPN, conducted digital terrestrial television testing using ISDB-T on UHF Channel 19 (503.143 MHz).

It was then used for RPN's DTT broadcasts in Metro Manila and nearby provinces in anticipation of digital television in the Philippines; full implementation was expected for 2024.
