Balitang America (Shorten to BA) was the flagship news program of TFC, produced by ABS-CBN International and ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs. The program, which was first hosted by Cara Subijano, had its debut as a weekly newscast covering the Filipino-American community on September 28, 2002.[1] It was converted to a weeknight broadcast on May 7, 2007, and Gel Santos-Relos, an ABS-CBN News personality who had previously worked in the network's main office in the Philippines before moving to the US, took over as the host.[2] Santos-Relos was succeeded as the newscast's anchor after she decided to retire by Ginger Conejero and TJ Manotoc. On July 16, 2021, the program came to an end, and TFC News Now North America took its place.[3]
