Kuya Kim Atienza has officially bid farewell to ABS-CBN.
In TV Patrol's October 1 (Friday) broadcast, Kuya Kim shared his heartfelt goodbye to all Kapamilya viewers as he moved to his new journey. Kuya Kim has been with ABS-CBN for 17 years after taking over the post previously held by Ka Ernie Baron.
He was since the regular weather man and trivia guy of the network's flagship primetime newscast.
Aside from TV Patrol, Kuya Kim also became a household name via the educational program Matanglawin.
Atienza also ventured in ABS-CBN's Entertainment division, hosting the network's noontime show It's Showtime.
Kim is set to moved to the Kapuso network where he will reportedly host 3 new shows via GMA's GTV channel.
Here's ABS-CBN official statement of Kuya Kim's network transfer.
Today (October 1), Kim Atienza bid goodbye to the viewers of “TV Patrol” after many years of delivering the nightly weather news.
No doubt, Kuya Kim has become an iconic name on Philippine television just like his predecessor in our primetime newscast, the late Ernie Baron. For 17 years, he shared knowledge and wonder to our viewers, as well as the many young Filipinos who grew up watching and learning from him in “Matanglawin.”
We thank him for his dedication, passion, and most of all, service to the Filipino people. All the best, Kuya Kim!
