CNA (TV network)

The idea of a news channel had been first suggested by Woon Tai Ho, who would soon become CNA's first vice-president.

Despite the economic recession the region was facing at the time, Mediacorp, then known as Television Corporation of Singapore (TCS) was suggesting the creation of a news channel (initially rumoured to be a business channel) in 1998. Under the initially-planned format, the channel was set to provide business news mirroring CNN and CNBC, with a tentative launch date of 1 January 1999.{{cite web |date=5 June 1998 |title=TCS means business |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19980605-1.2.31.25.4.7?qt=%22new%20channel%22&q=%22new%20channel%22 |access-date=11 September 2023 |website=The Straits Times (retrieved from NLB)}}

In October, TCS announced the name of the new service, Channel NewsAsia, and that its cost would be of $20 million in the first year, and $100 million at the long-term period of five years.{{cite web |date=28 October 1998 |title=TCS to invest $120 m on new English all-news channel |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/biztimes19981028-1.2.11.5 |access-date=11 September 2023 |website=The Business Times (retrieved from NLB)}}{{cite web |date=29 October 1998 |title=No one waits till 10.30 for news |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19981029-1.2.80.5 |access-date=11 September 2023 |website=The Straits Times (retrieved from NLB)}} With the then-upcoming launch of the channel, it was decided that all of Channel 5's current affairs programmes were to move to CNA, leaving only the main news (News 5 Tonight) with only one edition at 9:30pm.{{cite web |date=29 October 1998 |title=Channel 5 will have 9.30 main news |url=https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19981029-1.2.80.6 |access-date=11 September 2023 |website=The Straits Times (retrieved from NLB)}}

The logo of the channel is a red uppercase A, heightening the Asia in the official channel name. The A is shaped like an open delta whose crossbar is lowered to represent an emerging Asia. The A is painted red representing its auspicious status in Asian cultures, as well as being "striking and bold". The channel's name is written in black, representing its status as a brand of record.{{cite web |title=About us - CNA |url=https://www.channelnewsasia.com/about-us |access-date=29 September 2023 |website=CNA |date=11 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923161706/https://www.channelnewsasia.com/about-us |archive-date=23 September 2023}} The logo was updated in 2019.

CNA has been criticised for its pro-government bias in Singapore. In its 12th biennial report released on 2 September 2009, Pace stipulated that "the broadcaster was adopting a conservative and careful approach in its reports and programmes", while being labelled as the "voice of the Government".

CNA operates two broadcast feeds; a domestic feed is carried on terrestrial and subscription television in Singapore, which contains Singapore-specific news programming (such as Singapore Tonight) and promos for Mediacorp channels and properties. The international feed opts out of these programs, but also carries a simulcast of Channel 5's coverage of the Singapore National Day Parade annually on 9 August. Most cable and satellite systems carry the international feed in Asia. It is also streamed on CNA's YouTube channel worldwide.{{Cite web|url=https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/mediacorp-becomes-youtube-s-strategic-content-partner-in-11194024|title=Mediacorp becomes YouTube's strategic content partner in Singapore|date=1 February 2019|publisher=Channel NewsAsia|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190201082415/https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/mediacorp-becomes-youtube-s-strategic-content-partner-in-11194024|archive-date=1 February 2019|access-date=24 February 2019}}
