The program includes gripping stories on national issues, in-depth interviews with the most notable figures and newsmakers, as well as touching pieces on regular Filipinos who have had exceptional experiences. In addition to supporting those in need, the show is well known for its signature initiative, the "Korina's Handog Tsinelas Campaign," which strives to improve the lives of millions of Filipino children one pair of slippers at a time.
History
Rated Korina was launched as Balitang K in 1996 as an offshoot of the Balitang K segment of TV Patrol when Sanchez replaced Mel Tiangco after the latter was suspended from the network until Noli de Castro became the sole anchor of the said newscast in the same year.
The program was aired every Sunday night on ABS-CBN's Yes Weekend! block. It aired a replay telecast on DZMM TeleRadyo every Monday at 2:00PM and Tuesday at 1:00AM, and on Jeepney TV every Wednesday at 4:30PM, It also aired worldwide via TFC. The program is similar in style and presentation to the defunct news magazine show Balitang K which was also hosted by Sanchez herself.
On August 11, 2019, Rated K was moved to ''Goin' Bulilit'''s timeslot of 6:30 pm to give way for iWant Originals. The show was temporarily suspended on May 3, 2020, due to the ABS-CBN shutdown because of the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), following the network's 25-year franchise expired on May 4.
Rated K was officially cancelled, having been excluded from the programming lineup of Kapamilya Channel and replaced by Iba 'Yan, hosted by Angel Locsin. Sanchez and its staff continued the program as an online show utilizing their social media accounts.
The show moved to TV5 and was retitled as Rated Korina (using the former DZMM radio program title), after Sanchez signed a contract with Brightlight Productions on October 7, 2020. The second incarnation of Rated K premiered on the network's Saturday afternoon block on October 24, as a co-production between Brightlight and Viktory 8 Media.
The show went on series break on April 24, 2021, until it returned to its original international TV platform, TFC on May 29.
On June 19 and 20, 2021, the show returned for a new season. It also began airing on ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and ZOE TV's A2Z, while maintaining its delayed broadcast on One PH and TV5.
On June 17, 2023, after more than two years of being co-produced by Brightlight Productions, the show handed back co-production to ABS-CBN Studios and ABS-CBN News. The delayed telecast on One PH concluded the next day, while maintaining its airing on TV5. Since the change in co-production, ABS-CBN resumed the role as the primary distributor of the show, using existing facilities as playout for the program, and also its Creative Communications Management (CCM) created the show's own silent break bumper during commercial breaks on TV5 from June 17, 2023 to December 28, 2025 as part of a practice of airing any ABS-CBN-produced shows on other channels that are not connected to main Kapamilya Channel broadcast feed like A2Z if connecting to the former and All TV.
On June 29, 2025, the show expanded its airing to All TV, marking its return to channels 2 and 16 in Mega Manila and regional channels previously held by ABS-CBN until 2020. This occurred just a year and 2 months after ABS-CBN Corporation and Advanced Media Broadcasting System (AMBS) signed content agreements to air ABS-CBN programs on the said channel.
Following ABS-CBN's termination of the blocktime agreement with TV5 in December 2025, the show ended its airing on TV5 on December 28, 2025. It was replaced by the third season of TikTalks (a talk show also hosted by Sanchez) on January 4, 2026. The show continued to air on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, and All TV.
Radio program
A radio show entitled Rated Korina was aired on DZMM and cable channel DZMM TeleRadyo from January 9, 2012, to January 3, 2014, and was replaced by Sakto. Sanchez resigned from her radio program to pursue her master's degree at Ateneo de Manila University.
Reception
Rated Korina is one of the longest-running shows on ABS-CBN, regarded for its credibility and reliability featuring the latest trends in food, entertainment, leisure, science, and technology. Manila Standard hailed the show as "one of the most trusted platforms of both local and international celebrities." The show has already received countless accolades and recognitions across the world. Rated Korina has been a finalist in New York Festivals International TV and Film Awards twice (2009 and 2012); while Sanchez herself was honored as 'Highly Commended' in the category" Current Affairs Presenter" at 2012 Asian Television Awards for her outstanding work.
Rated Korina is an eight-time "Best Magazine Show" winner at the PMPC Star Awards for Television while the host, Sanchez, is a ten-time "Best Magazine Show Host" winner at the same ceremony. Since the show premiered on television, the show has since been among the most watched weekend shows in the Philippines. According to Kantar Media, the show consistently logged high viewership attaining 26.9% (Total Philippines Household Ratings) on June 24, 2012.
