Balitaan was the flagship Filipino language noontime newscast of ALIW Channel 23. The program remake of the 2013 Philippine television newscasts of the same title aired on PTV. It aired from April 4, 2016 to January 26, 2024, replacing CNN Philippines Newsroom: Afternoon Edition and was replaced by Eat Bulaga! which returned to the RPN's noontime timeslot after nearly 35 years, DWIZ 882 Balitambayan kasama si Drew Nacino and Frontline Express on RPTV's noontime timeslot. The newscasts aired on weekdays at 12:00 NN PST and is anchored by Pinky Webb. The newscast aired its last broadcast on January 26, 2024, as CNN Philippines ceased live news operations on the morning of January 29 ahead of its announced closure on January 31.

Background

It is the first ever Filipino language newscast of CNN Philippines, after the almost 1-year run of its predecessor, the original 12 noon edition of Newsroom. Balitaan is the second locally produced program in Filipino language next to now-defunct public service program Serbisyo All Access.
Balitaan is unique among other midday and afternoon newscasts on CNN Philippines, as it is airs on its normal format despite any live rolling coverage that might pre-empt other newscasts in their respective timeslots. Rolling coverage continues after the newscast in case the former is needed to provide added information.
