Reports suggest that Korina Sanchez is set to take over as the host of TV5’s morning program ‘Face 2 Face’ starting October 2024.
Sanchez is rumored to replace Karla Estrada, who has been hosting the show since its relaunch on May 1, 2023.
Estrada’s anticipated departure is linked to her expected candidacy for a government position in the May 2025 elections. With the candidate filing period from October 1 to 8, 2024, her time on television is likely to be limited as she prepares for her political campaign.
Sources indicate that Willie Revillame has recommended Sanchez to TV5 management as Estrada’s successor. The network has yet to make an official announcement regarding the host change, and no formal statement has been issued at this time.
Sanchez’s potential new role would mark a significant shift, given her current presence on TV5 with her program, ‘Rated Korina.’ Her long-standing career as an award-winning television host and her broad knowledge on various issues are seen as assets that could benefit the program.
The network and Sanchez have not yet confirmed these reports, and viewers will need to wait for an official announcement from TV5 regarding any changes to the ‘Face 2 Face’ hosting lineup.
