in October 30. ''Solar Nightly News'' was simulcasted on RPN (by then affiliated by Solar Entertainment-operated ETC) from January 14 until November 29, 2013, after the network ceased production of its late-night newscast ''RPN NewsCap'' due to the retrenchment of the program's production team and other employees of the privatized network. The simulcast was also a replacement of '' Solar Network News'' to RPN's news content, as a result of Solar Entertainment's decision to scrap the cable-only limitation of ''American Idol'' season 12 and allow the broadcast to be available to RPN (over-the-air) viewers (in which the original plan was to limit the AI via satellite broadcast to cable viewers while RPN will continue to air Network News at 6 PM). On December 1, 2013, Solar News Channel switched its affiliation to RPN, making it a program at its own right. Nancy Irlanda retired as the newscast's anchor on January 10, 2014; Mitzi Borromeo, anchor of Solar News program '' News Café'' took over by the end of the month. Hilary Isaac joined Borromeo weeks later but left some months later to join '' Daybreak''.
