Balitang K was a Philippine television news and current affairs magazine show, hosted by Korina Sanchez and broadcast by ABS-CBN from July 8, 1996 to March 2, 2001.

TV Patrol was reformatted in 1996 because of the success of Mexican telenovela, Marimar aired on RPN.
The program was off the air from December 7, 2000 to January 16, 2001 due to the ongoing Impeachment trial of then President Joseph Estrada.
