Amidst the news of Kim Atienza’s network transfer, rumors of talk show host Boy Abunda also moving to a new station this year also spread online. This was immediately denied by <a href='https://thebesttalk.abs-cbn.com' target='_blank'>The Best Talk</a> host in an interview wth ABS-CBN News last September 29. “Maybe because Kim is moving and there is a teaser about somebody moving to 7, it may have something to do with it, parang ganun. So as we talk now, No is the answer. Nahiya lang ako kasi. At saka another reason is, people must not forget, pero ang mga bagets baka hindi ito alam, I started in channel 7. I spent my first 10 years, 11 years in channel 7. And then I moved to ABS-CBN. Ito yung maaaring dahilan kung bakit napapag-usapan ako. <blockquote class='twitter-tweet'>Boy Abunda confirms he had past dicussions with other networks, including GMA-7. "Pero nothing happened, nothing came out of it, because it is too early in the game. Ang sinasabi ko, naghihintay ako hangga't magkaroon ng prangkisa ang ABS-CBN," he says. <a href='https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw'>@ABSCBNNews</a> <a href='https://t.co/zsgFQ2FPE0'>pic.twitter.com/zsgFQ2FPE0</a>— Miguel Dumaual (@migueldumaual) <a href='https://twitter.com/migueldumaual/status/1443227778619351054?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw'>September 29, 2021</a></blockquote><script async src='https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' type='text/javascript'></script><a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/10/25/fresh-scoops/im-staying-with-abs-cbn-boy-abunda-remains-a-k-189233' target='_blank'>READ: ‘I’m staying with ABS-CBN’: Boy Abunda remains a Kapamilya, to make a TV comeback</a>During his interview with Miguel Dumaual, Tito Boy did not deny that he had already been in talks with various networks in the past but he did not commit to any transfer.
