History
editToday with Kris Aquino was premiered as an afternoon talk show after Aquino left from GMA Network in 1996. On March 29, 1997, it transferred its timeslot from afternoon (4:00pm) to morning (11:00am), replacing the defunct talk show Teysi ng Tahanan and its reformatted as a morning talk show.
On March 9, 2001, the show ended due to Noli de Castro's decision to run for the senate and leave TV Patrol. Korina Sanchez, who was then hosting Balitang K, was appointed to anchor TV Patrol. With these changes, Aquino was appointed to replace Sanchez, reformatting the show to Balitang Kris. Today with Kris Aquino was replaced by Talk TV.
In May 2011, Aquino announced that the show would be back on air again in June 2011, a decade after it ended.[1][2] A few days, Aquino said the show would not be revived and instead she would start a talk show with a new title, Kris TV.[3]
