The network has been positioned as an alternative to Western-based international media in presenting news from "an Asian perspective". Alongside its main focus as an English-language news television channel, CNA also produces news and current affairs content in Singapore's other official languages of Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, which is distributed via digital outlets and Mediacorp's local channels in the languages. Mediacorp's Channel 5 previously aired a simulcast of CNA during the daytime hours until 1 May 2019, when it was replaced by an Okto block.
The CNA brand also encompasses digital media properties, including its website, social media outlets, as well as a co-branded news radio station in Singapore, CNA938.
