Phoenix InfoNews Channel is a Hongkonger pay television news channel owned by Phoenix Television. It is the first channel to report news across the Greater China region, which includes Mainland China, Macau, Taiwan and Hong Kong. This channel was established on 1 January 2001, delivering news and financial updates around the clock. Analysts also provide comments and analysis on current issues and topics.

It is the channel's coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that prompt China Central Television to launch its own rolling news channel, CCTV-新闻 (now known as CCTV-13) in May Day 2003. At the time when the story broke, InfoNews was on-the-scene and provided reporting as the situation unfolded, whereas CCTV did not even report it for as many as two successive days.

After more than years of operations on Astro and Kristal-Astro, Phoenix Info News Channel and Phoenix Chinese Channel has ended operations on Astro and Kristal-Astro at midnight, 1 July 2020 and replaced with TVB News Channel and TVBS News on 6 July 2020 at 6:00am but returned on new channels in 9 July 2020.
