CNN Philippines Sports Desk (formerly Solar SportsDesk, or simply Sports Desk) is a Philippine television sports news broadcasting show broadcast by Solar Sports, Solar News Channel, 9TV and CNN Philippines. Originally anchored by Jinno Rufino, it aired on Solar Sports from 2004 to 2007 and from December 3, 2012 to September 26, 2014. The show moved to Solar News Channel, 9TV and CNN Philippines from December 3, 2012 to January 26, 2024, and was replaced by Starting Lineup on RPTV's evening timeslot. Andrei Felix serve as the final anchor. Sports Desk airs on weekdays at 10am (with a replay at 2:30pm) and 10pm, with a weekend recap edition on Saturdays at 12:30pm. on May 1, 2023, the show will air on Primetime Weeknights at 8:30 pm.

The program aired its last broadcast on January 26, 2024, as CNN Philippines ceased live news operations on the morning of January 29 ahead of the network's closure on January 31.

History

Sports Desk was first broadcast on cable TV channel Solar Sports from 2004 to 2007 and returned on Solar News Channel by December 3, 2012, with a simulcast on Solar Sports until August 22, 2014 following SNC's rebrand as 9TV.

As part of the expansion, Sports Desk also serves as a sports segment on some CNN Philippines newscasts. However, when major rolling news stories break across their timeslots, the Sports Desk program would either interrupt or pre-empt its normal broadcast. For instance, should the morning edition be pre-empted by a rolling coverage, a replacement live broadcast will take place at the 2:30 pm rerun timeslot.

On September 4, 2017, the primetime edition of Sports Desk was moved to an earlier timeslot at 6:30pm, after News Night divides its full hour single newscast into two 30-minute editions. Three months later, on December 16, Halili stepped down from his anchor role as he left the CNN franchise. The program's basketball analyst Charles Tiu, brother of PBA veteran Chris Tiu, was named as an interim host for the early evening and late night editions.

The 6:30pm edition of SportsDesk aired its final episode on December 29, 2017, to give way to the full-time relaunch of Amanpour. The cancellation was part of the network's reorganization. The remaining two editions remain intact.

In March 2020, Sports Desk halted its productions due to the Enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the news segment on various newscasts continued to air.

In 2021, after a year of absence, Sports Desk returned on the air albeit on a weekday morning basis.
