CAT 8 Television, is a long bridge connecting the first city of Ilocos to the last town of Bicol. A bridge that connects a huge culture gap in the country.

For a long time, people in the countryside are blindfolded on what is happening around them. The daily news on TV is all about Manila. News that sometimes does not matter to them. News that does not belong to the their people. Finally, CAT News Express becomes the window of the people to their respective town and province. A news program that brought the countryside to light. An access to the daily happenings in their own and neighboring towns. The timeless stories also reintroduce them to their history and culture. A program that has a close affinity to the audience. Thank God, a major disaster, a world shocking accident or an ungodly crime does not have to happen for them to be noticed or to be on TV. A window has opened for them. Now the they can peek through and can be seen through that window.
