It was the second regional newscast produced by CNN Philippines, premiering under its predecessor Solar News Channel and the first national newscast in Kapampangan.

Following Cebuano News, Kapampangan News was another innovative program by Solar News Channel to deliver its trademark newsgathering in Kapampangan language, the 6th widely spoken language in the Philippines and one of the most widely spoken in Luzon.

The current incarnation was launched on March 16, 2015, in lieu with the launch of CNN Philippines along with a CNN-themed graphics and a revamped news studio.

On February 15, 2016, Cebuano News and Kapampangan News reduced their timeslot from their half-hour running time to 15 minutes until the network quietly axed the newscast on March 31, 2017.

[1] Along with Cebuano News and the 1:30 pm filler slot, Kapampangan News was replaced on April 3, 2017, by the simulcast of the 1 AM EDT hour of CNN Newsroom with Cyril Vanier and Natalie Allen (Monday) and John Vause and Isha Sesay (Tuesday to Friday) as a part of Armie Jarin-Bennett's continuing revamps on the network.
