In a statement, ABS-CBN expressed how grateful they were for his hard work and dedication. 

“Today (October 1), Kim Atienza bid goodbye to the viewers of TV Patrol after many years of delivering the nightly weather news. No doubt, Kuya Kim has become an iconic name on Philippine television just like his predecessor in our primetime newscast, the late Ernie Baron. For 17 years, he shared knowledge and wonder to our viewers, as well as the many young Filipinos who grew up watching and learning from him in Matanglawin.”

He stated that he will be joining Mars Pa More, a daily entertainment trivia show, and will be making his debut on the prime-time news program24 Oras on the week of Oct. 4.
