Background
Premiere
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. Kapampangan News was launched on August 4, 2014, with its graphics and title card updated 20 days later (August 24) following channel's rebrand to 9TV. 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.
Revamp and cancellation
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.
