#WelcomeKapusoKuyaKim
Kim Atienza is the newest Kapamilya-turned Kapuso as GMA 7 officially announces his transfer to the network.
After 17 years of doing television projects with the Kapamilya network, Kuya Kim decided to transfer to the Kapuso network.
“I did not leave ABS-CBN at its darkest hour because many beautiful things are happening soon,” he said.
Kuya Kim also said that he will always be grateful to the Kapamilya network that took care of him for 17 years.
Last Friday, October 1 he had his final episode on TV Patrol as a weather reporter.
It was indeed an emotional episode as the TV host bid goodbye to his home for almost two decades. Long-time viewers were also emotional to hear his famous line “Ang buhay ay weather, weather lang.”
After the broadcast, ABS-CBN officially released a statement about parting ways with Kuya Kim.
“Today (October 1), Kim Atienza bid goodbye to the viewers of TV Patrol after many years of delivering the nightly weather news. We thank him for his dedication, passion, and most of all, service to the Filipino people. All the best, Kuya Kim! Forever Kapamilya.”
Through his segment in the Kapamilya primetime news program, he has been sharing helpful information about anything under the sun. Aside from TV Patrol, his other shows in ABS-CBN are “Umagang Kay Ganda,” “It’s Showtime” and “Matanglawin.”
It is confirmed that Kuya Kim has three upcoming shows on his new network.
He will be a part of “24 Oras” and “Mars Pa More” with Iya Villania at Camille Prats. This has caused netizens to speculate he will replace the resident weatherman of “24 Oras” Nathaniel "Mang Tani" Cruz.
Mang Tani is actually on vacation right now with his family in Australia but he took the time to welcome his newest work buddy with a short video.
Through in an online interview with the press, Kuya Kim confirmed that he will not be replacing Mang Tani in the "IMReady" forecast of "24 Oras."
"I will not be doing weather because you have the best weatherman in the Philippines. You have Mang Tani," he said.
Just this week pictures of Kuya Kim filming for his opening billboard for his new show surfaced online. He was seen riding a motorcycle.
