History[]
It all started in 1986 after the EDSA Revolution as CNP depended on the newly-founded Malaya Newspaper and the Manila Shimbun for sources. In 1988, after two years of cooperation with the two newspapers, CNP would be able to launch its own newscast, "Tamaraw Newslens".
In 1995, CNP started regional news programs with unique names.
