As a noontime newscast
The newscast was launched on March 16, 2015 as a 60-minute noontime newscast, replacing 9TV's Newsday. It is first anchored by CNN Philippines News chief Jing Magsaysay and Mai Rodriguez, who was held over from Newsday.
In September 2015, Magsaysay left the newscast after his resignation following the "right-sizing" retrenchment of 70 junior staffers and contractual employees, who worked in the company for Programming and Technical Engineering divisions, leaving Rodriguez as the sole anchor.
Expansion
On February 15, 2016, the newscast expanded its airtime, aligning with its international counterpart. However, the expansion reformatted from a single 60-minute newscast to three 30-minute editions in its initial run. The 8am edition was first anchored by Amelyn Veloso, who formerly anchored CNN Philippines Headline News and was concurrently hosting Serbisyo All Access. Claire Celdran replaced Rodriguez in the noontime edition while the latter became anchor of the network's weekend newscasts. The 9:00pm edition replaced CNN Philippines Nightly News, anchored by its holdover, Mitzi Borromeo. The English-language noontime edition of Newsroom was axed on April 4, 2016 and reformatted to CNN Philippines Balitaan with Pinky Webb.
On April 11, 2016, Newsroom debuted a 3 pm edition dubbed as Global Newsroom catering on international news relevant to Filipinos, first hosted by Claire Celdran.
On February 6, 2017, Newsroom launched its mid-morning edition in Filipino language dubbed as Newsroom Ngayon, anchored by Ruth Cabal replacing Serbisyo All Access. Newsroom Ngayon serves as a sister newscast with CNN Philippines' first Filipino language newscast, Balitaan, which airs at midday.
On February 27, 2017, due to personnel reshuffling, Claire Celdran replaced Veloso at the 8 am slot while CNN Philippines Network News anchor Pia Hontiveros took over the Global Newsroom chair.
On March 4, 2017, Newsroom launched its weekend edition anchored by the pioneer weekday noontime anchor Mai Rodriguez. It airs every Saturday and Sunday at 12 noon. Prior to a permanent weekend expansion, Rodriguez anchored special newscasts during severe weather coverage and other news of utmost importance.
Special editions
When warranted, Newsroom would air special editions of the newscast, either within or beyond the current five-edition format. Notable instances of these, as the initial three-edition schedule were on the 30th anniversary of the People Power Revolution and the aftermath of Muhammad Ali's death, respectively.
Newsroom had four editions on February 25, 2016 covering the 30th year of the EDSA People Power revolution, all but one edition airing a full hour, while on June 6, 2016, Global Newsroom ran a full hour covering the aftermath of the death of Muhammad Ali. Mico Halili co-anchored the broadcast with Claire Celdran.
Since Newsroom is also known as CNN's "brand" for rolling coverage, Newsroom expands its timeslot when warranted and pre-empt programming for rolling news coverage and breaking stories (i.e. Senate and Congress hearings, and sometimes hooking up to CNN International). However, when special events warrant during the early primetime slot, this function goes to CNN Philippines Network News.
