Big News is the primetime news broadcast of Associated Broadcasting Company in the Philippines. It is currently anchored by Cheri Mercado. The show first aired in 1992 as an English language newscast. In 2002, when the network reformatted most of its programs, the show became a Filipino language newscast in order to compete with the other networks newscasts.
On October 3, 2006, the newscast exchanged timeslots with Sentro, the early-evening news program of the network. Since then, Mercado became the sole anchor of the program, and the length of the program has been reduced to 15 minutes from the former 30.
