News on Q is a Philippine television newscast show broadcast by Q (formerly QTV). Originally anchored by Rhea Santos (later Connie Sison) and Ivan Mayrina, it premiered on November 11, 2005. The show concluded on February 18, 2011.

History
On March 5, 2007, in line with the network's re-branding, News on Q's medium shifted from the usual Filipino to English prior to the election coverage special (Eleksyon 2007) between May 14 and 15, pitting up against the now-defunct Studio 23's News Central and RPN's iWatch News. This was Q's first English newscast after GMA Headline News and GMA Network News in the mid-80s and early 90s.

In 2009, from the usual 30 minutes, the run time was extended to 45 minutes.[1] On April 5, 2010, the medium was restored to Filipino after 3 years answering to TV5's Aksyon (which premiered on the same night), Connie Sison joined the newscast and the run time was changed to 1 hour. On April 21, 2010, Sison becomes the permanent replacement for Rhea Santos prior to the election coverage special (Eleksyon 2010) between May 10 and 11. After its switch back to Tagalog, it was GMA Network's last English-language broadcast and as of 2019, GMA Network is one of the few main Philippine TV broadcasters not to have an English-language news program.

Following the announcement of GMA News TV on February 7, 2011, the flagship newscast aired its final episode on February 18, as Q ended its programming on February 20 then it would go for its final sign-off on February 27. It was replaced by State of the Nation with Jessica Soho on February 28 as part of the same network's first day on the air.
