Asia First

edit

Asia First is a breakfast news and current affairs programme.[26] It has a three-hour runtime, the longest among CNA's news bulletins, and airs from 7:00 a.m. Singapore Time (SGT). The programme was formed through the consolidation of two earlier morning programmes, First Look Asia and Asia Business First. A half-hour weekend summary was previously broadcast but was later replaced by morning editions of Asia Now.

The programme does not air on certain Asian public holidays or during the year-end period from 25 December to the week of 1 January, prior to the first regular working day of the year in major Asian countries.

Asia First and its predecessor First Look Asia were simulcast on Channel 5 as breakfast programmes in Singapore. The simulcast ended after 30 April 2019 to accommodate children's programming formerly broadcast on Okto, which ceased operations the following day.

As of April 2024, Asia First is the only CNA news bulletin to feature more than one main presenter, following changes to the presentation formats of Asia Tonight, Singapore Tonight, and the former World Tonight.
