[edit]The program was first aired in 2006 as part of the re-branding of ANC, originally anchored by Ricky Carandang, Marieton Pacheco, TJ Manotoc and Niña Corpuz. It was started as a 2+1⁄2-hour program aired right after Magandang Umaga Pilipinas (then replaced by Umagang Kay Ganda) after Corpuz left then, she was replaced by Gretchen Fullido thereafter.
In 2008, the original 2+1⁄2-hour runtime of the show was reduced to 2 hours. Ron Cruz joined the show replacing Carandang, when the latter was moved to anchor News at 8. Meanwhile, Fullido was replaced by beauty queen turned entertainment reporter Ginger Conejero.
Former ABS-CBN Australia Bureau chief Gigi Grande joined the group and replaced Pacheco who marks her last day with the show on July 17, 2009, to embark a new life with her family in Canada and was assigned to be ABS-CBN North America Bureau correspondent.[1]
In 2010, TJ Manotoc left the show to join Ces Oreña-Drilon for ABS-CBN News Channel's new primetime newscast The Rundown, he was replaced by equally sports enthusiast and broadcaster Paolo Abrera who joins Ginger Conejero, Ron Cruz, and Gigi Grande in the show, to take over the sports and technology beats and get to push his advocacy for nature in the all-new "Going Green" segment.[2]
Broadcast journalist Pinky Webb, who used to anchor Dateline Philippines officially joined Mornings @ ANC on October 10, 2011, as she switched places with veteran broadcast journalist Gigi Grande. Grande joined TJ Manotoc on Dateline Philippines, the ANC's longest running newscast.[3]
In August 2014, TJ Manotoc made his comeback to Mornings @ ANC, and replaced longtime anchor Ron Cruz, who will be taking over the anchor chair of the noontime newscast Dateline Philippines opposite Karmina Constantino.[4] Eventually, Ron Cruz returned shortly when Manotoc was sent in the United States to cover the NBA Finals of that same year.

Seasoned ABS-CBN News anchor Pinky Webb resigned from her post to join the newly launched CNN Philippines as reported which is known to be headed by Jing Magsaysay, one of her former colleagues in ABS-CBN News Channel.[5] She was temporarily replaced by Karmina Constantino and one of the show's original host Niña Corpuz.
After Corpuz short stint as main anchor and host, veteran business news journalist Nancy Irlanda formally rejoined the network on June 15, 2015, via the morning show Mornings @ ANC and served as permanent replacement of Pinky Webb.[6]
