SET iNews Channel (Chinese: 三立iNEWS; pinyin: Sānlì iNEWS) is a Taiwanese 24-hour news channel, broadcasting predominantly in Mandarin, owned by Sanlih E-Television and launched in May 2011 as SET Finance (Chinese: 三立財經台; pinyin: Sānlì Cáijīng-tái), switching to its current name on 26 June 2017.
Nevertheless, both channels share resources, including reporters and presenters, and, until mid-2021, especially during off-peak hours (late night and early mornings, as well as weekends), simulcast and/or repeated some programming premiered in the other network.
[1][2][3] On 26 May 2021, the National Communications Commission (NCC) announced SET iNews will move to Channel 48 in a number of cable systems,[4][5] after filing an application in April 2020.
[4] By 2024, SET iNews will have to invest around 200 million TWD to supplement its workforce and improve its content.
The weekend schedule when no live newscast airs is filled with prerecorded weekly journalistic programmes, some of them rerun in the 10:00 time slot on weekdays.
