Rated K also aired worldwide on the Filipino Channel (TFC). The program is similar in style and presentation to the newsmagazine show Balitang K, which was also hosted by Sanchez.
On August 11, 2019, Rated K was moved to Goin' Bulilit's 6:00 pm time slot of to make way for iWant Originals. The show was suspended on May 3, 2020, due to the ABS-CBN shutdown because of the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) after the network's 25-year franchise expired on May 4. Rated K was cancelled by Kapamilya Channel and replaced by Iba 'Yan, hosted by Angel Locsin. Sanchez and its staff continued the program as an online show, using their social-media accounts.
It moved to TV5 as Rated Korina (using the former DZMM radio-program title) after Sanchez signed with Brightlight Productions on October 7, 2020.

On June 19 and 20, 2021, the series returned for a new season. It began airing on ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and ZOE TV's A2Z, maintaining its delayed broadcast on One PH and TV5.
On June 17, 2023, after more than two years of Brightlight co-production, co-production returned to ABS-CBN Studios and ABS-CBN News. The delayed telecast on One PH ended the following day, but TV5 airing continued. ABS-CBN resumed its role as primary distributor, using existing facilities for playout.
