The premiere 24/7 English language news channel in the Philippines literally announced its bid to conquer audiences in Asia-Pacific, Middle East, North America, Latin America and Europe through its new station ID featuring the channel's roster of topnotch news anchors led by Philippine broadcasting icon and host of Asia's longest-running newscast "The World Tonight", Tina Monzon-Palma. The said roster features multi-awarded broadcast journalists and seasoned news anchors including Karen Davila, Tony Velasquez, David Celdran, Christian Esguerra, Ron Cruz, Karmina Constantino and one of the most decorated news presenters and financial journalists in the region Cathy Yang who recently won in the Asian Television Awards for the fourth time and the Asian Creative Academy Awards as Best News Presentor/Anchor.
Since its inception in 1996, ANC continues to strengthen its existing content producing new programs about the country's emerging market, vibrant tourism, disruptions and innovations that chronicle the journey of the Philippines' dynamic young population as it makes its own mark in the robust global market. Aside from producing a stellar roster of on-cam and off-cam journalists through its existence for more than 24 years with some working for other local news organizations in the country, ANC also ventured into organizing on-ground experiences such as the ANCX events and the highly intriguing ANC Leadership Series to build a community of business leaders and innovators and to help raise the level of discourse in matters of business and politics in the country. Among the global names that ANC brought to the Philippines in recent years are Virgin Group founder and philanthropist Richard Branson, former United States Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Mandalay Entertainment Group chairman and Golden State Warriors co-owner Peter Guban, "Shark Tank" judge and capitalist Kevin O' Leary and world-renouned lifestyle expert and entrepreneur Martha Stewart.
"We're ready to share the success stories of the Philippines to the world. This is also aligned with the international expansion of our parent network ABS-CBN which aims to cement the Philippines' position as a nation of innovative leaders, game-changers and talented artists with a lot to offer to the world," said ANC chief operating officer and former ABS-CBN News North America bureau chief Nadia Trinidad who also served as the channel's production head for six years.
