ABS-CBN News Channel, or ANC, is a cable news network in the Philippines. It is operated by the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation. Its programs are primarily in English. ANC is currently the only real 24-hour news channel in the Philippines. Originally known as the Sarimanok News Network (SNN), the channel was conceptualized to bring the news that matter most to Filipinos.

ANC discovered and exposed the anomalies surrounding the BW scandal in the Philippine stock market, which triggered historic events in the country thereafter. ANC gained prominence from its coverage of the impeachment trial of then president Joseph Estrada. Likewise, the News Channel covered EDSA DOS, the second people power revolution in the country, that forced Joseph Estrada to withdraw his presidency.

In the Philippines, as well as abroad, it is presently seen through cable and satellite television through The Filipino Channel, another ABS-CBN affiliate.

ANC is also available in the internet through ABS-CBNNow! service.
