The show was later cancelled in 2016 after Aquino decided to leave ABS-CBN due to health conditions and to spend more time with her family.

History edit

Kris Aquino stated on her Twitter account that her defunct talk show Today with Kris Aquino will be back on air, but as the days passed, she announced that she will return on a talk show but will be entitled as Kris TV.

Kris TV premiered on June 27, 2011 from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM on ABS-CBN's Umaganda morning block, right before the talent competition program Showtime (later known as the noontime show It's Showtime.)

On June 4, 2012, Kris TV moved to an earlier timeslot from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, right before the Filipino-dubbed Japanese anime shows under the Team Animazing morning animation block.

On February 10, 2014, Kris TV extended its timeslot from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM, replacing 30 minutes of the morning program Umagang Kay Ganda. In the same year, the show is later reformatted as a lifestyle magazine talk show.

Format edit

Kris TV aims to focus on everyday lifestyle and educational places to go that housewives, husbands and kids can relate to. Aquino's talk show varies different topics and segments not only limiting to interviews, but also to everyday life and bonding moments among the audience and the special guests.[1]

The show airs taped Mondays to Fridays with out-of-studio tours, in which Kris Aquino travels around the Philippines to showcase the country's beauty and essence to the Filipino audiences, with a guest celebrity joining her to have an interview on location. In recent years, the program does not accommodate a studio set-up anymore; instead, they do live episodes in Aquino's residence or in a resto-bar, with guests joining her for a talk show or musical set-up.

Segments and spin-offs edit

Kris RealiTV

One of the regular spin-offs of Kris TV. The talk show does not only feature on-studio and live programs, they travel around the country to showcase its beauty to television viewers, be it Filipinos or foreigners.

Kris & Bimby Summer TV

A Kris TV summer spin-off aired in 2015, featuring a mother-and-son bonding with Kris Aquino and Bimby Aquino Yap in their summer adventures, foodtrips and roadtrips. The theme song was performed by Darren Espanto.

Foodtrip

In occasional episodes, Kris Aquino (often accompanied by her friends and guests, her sons, and headwriter Darla) goes to restaurants in and out of the Metro to showcase delicious, mouth-watering dishes that television viewers can try. It shows Filipino authentic dishes, as well as foreign dishes.
