i-Watch News is the flagship English evening news program of Radio Philippines Network in the Philippines. It is broadcast at 10:00 PM Philippine time (GMT +8).
The news program replaced the network's longest-running English news program NewsWatch. It is poised to compete with other English language newscasts Mari Kaimo's News Central (Studio 23), Angelo Castro Jr.'s The World Tonight (ANC)and Ivan Mayrina's News on Q (Q).
It is anchored by former K-Lite disc jockey Carlo Tirona and recording artist Aryana Lim, and it has the youth, especially the young urban professionals, as its target audience, thereby differentiating it from its predecessor newscast and Tagalog primetime newscasts, which may be seen as traditional. To further differentiate it from aforementioned newscasts, the presenters speak with an accent similar to that of radio DJs and those who did not grow up in the country.
