Balitang K

Balitang K is a Philippine television news and current affairs magazine show, hosted by Korina Sanchez. It was broadcast by ABS-CBN from March 31, 1997 to March 2, 2001. This was her first show after Magandang Umaga Po ended on January 27, 1995.

The program was an offshoot of the Balitang K segment of TV Patrol when Sanchez replaced Mel Tiangco after the latter suspended from the network until Noli de Castro became the sole anchor of the newscast in 1997. TV Patrol was reformatted in 1997 because of the success of Mexican telenovela, Marimar aired on RPN surpassing TV Patrol on its timeslot. To beef up the ratings of ABS-CBN, Balitang K was launched as a pre-program to TV Patrol. Balitang K aired after the public service program, Hoy Gising!.

In 2001, TV Patrol anchor Noli de Castro ran for a senate seat as Sanchez was appointed as his replacement. Kris Aquino took over the latter's hosting job in the reformatted spin-off, Balitang Kris. However, this new program was cancelled due to low ratings. Kris would resume hosting duties in another talk show, Kris and Tell.

The concept of Balitang K was reused for another incarnation, Rated K, also hosted by Sanchez.
