On January 23, 2017, KP moves on its present channel, the PTV, which also currently airs Bitag and Pinoy US Cops since 2013, as well the day that Santos become the anchor for PTV News 1:00 PM Edition (now Sentro Balita) and on June 4, 2018 were moved to PTV News 6:00 PM Edition (now replaced by Ulat Bayan). On June 5, 2017, Ben's younger brother Erwin joined the program (initially, as a guest host but later became regular addition) after he resigned as anchor for TV5's news program Aksyon[1] and a week later they move on its current timeslot at 5:00 p.m. (UTC +08) before PTV News.

Controversy

The Commission on Audit (COA), in its audit findings, noted that there is a memorandum of agreement on file between the tourism department and the government-owned station requiring PTNI to air a 6-minute tourism advertisement section in PTVs Kilos Pronto, plus a 3-minute DOT spot within the program.[2] This has been criticized, since at the time of the memorandum the Department of Tourism Secretary was Wanda Tulfo Teo sister of the hosts of the show.
