Nine Media News and Current Affairs (formerly known as Solar News and Current Affairs/Solar News and 9News and Current Affairs/9News) was the news and public affairs production arm and sole division of the media company Nine Media Corporation, leasing airtime from Southern Broadcasting Network (2011–2013) and Radio Philippines Network (2012–2024). The division produced the local news and content of Nine Media's television brands Talk TV, Solar News Channel, 9TV, and CNN Philippines. 9News stopped using this brand when the channel was launched as CNN Philippines on March 16, 2015, and the division was finally dissolved following the closure of the channel on January 31, 2024 due to financial losses.
