Umagang Kay Ganda premiered on June 25, 2007, at 5:15AM, replacing
Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas. The original hosts include
Edu Manzano,
Pinky Webb,
Anthony Taberna,
Alex Santos,
Winnie Cordero,
Donita Rose,
Ogie Diaz,
Kim Atienza,
Bernadette Sembrano, and
Rica Peralejo. Manzano and Diaz left the program more than two years later. Manzano was
running for Vice President, while Diaz was concentrating on hosting
Entertainment Live. On May 11, 2009,
Umagang Kay Ganda launched "
Boto Mo iPatrol Mo Ako Ang Simula" in preparation for the
2010 Philippine elections. On July 13, 2009,
Ginger Conejero and
Atom Araullo separately joined the program, filling the vacancy by the departure of Manzano and Diaz. On October 21, 2009,
Kim Atienza left the program to join the talent competition program (and now noontime variety show)
Showtime (later known as ''It's Showtime'') as one of the hosts. On March 22, 2010,
Andrei Felix, Bekimon, and
Phoemela Baranda joined the program as hosts. The same year, Araullo left the show to concentrate on field reporting. In February 2011, the program was reformatted, with
Iya Villania, Jeffrey Tam, and
Miss Universe 2010 fourth runner-up
Venus Raj joining the program to replace Sembrano, Peralejo, Conejero and Bekimon. On August 1 of the same year, Bernadette Sembrano returned to the show after six months, replacing Webb. On January 30, 2012,
Bianca Gonzalez replaced Donita Rose (who left the show to train as a professional chef), while Anthony Taberna's
Dos por Dos co-host Gerry Baja joined the program as hosts. The
Balitaktakan would then serve as a cross-platform collaboration with
Dos por Dos, hosted by Baja and Taberna, extending its simulcast to
DZMM-AM and
DZMM TeleRadyo during this portion. On June 4, 2012, comedian-actor
Ariel Ureta joined the program as one of the new hosts. On January 28, 2013, Jorge Cariño joined the program replacing Santos, while Araullo returned to the show after three years. On February 10, 2014,
Umagang Kay Ganda shortened its timeslot from 5:00AM to 7:30AM to give way for the airing extension of talk show
Kris TV. On October 2, 2015, Bernadette Sembrano left the show to focus on anchoring
TV Patrol. On October 23, 2015,
Umagang Kay Ganda ended its broadcast on
ANC in preparation for the major revamp of the channel's programming, logo and imaging. The timeslot was replaced by
Mornings @ ANC and
Early Edition. On June 20, 2016,
Umagang Kay Ganda brought back its original three-hour runtime from 5:00AM to 8:00AM. On September 15, 2017, Atom Araullo left the program (following his departure from ABS-CBN) as he would transfer back to GMA Network on September 21. The next year, Kori Quintos and
Jeff Canoy joined the show replacing Araullo and former
PAGASA weatherman Alvin Pura. On April 2, 2018,
Umagang Kay Ganda, along with the other
ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs programs, switched to high-definition format. On July 29, 2019, Canoy officially became a permanent co-host after filling-in for Araullo. On March 18, 2020,
Umagang Kay Ganda was temporarily replaced by the simulcast of
DZMM TeleRadyo on the show's timeslot for the first time in years as provisional programming. The program returned to air on May 4, though it began at 6:00 AM rather than 4:55 AM as DZMM's
Garantisadong Balita remained on air. However, due to the shutdown of ABS-CBN on the evening of May 5, 2020, caused by a
cease-and-desist order from the
National Telecommunications Commission after its legislative franchise expired the day prior, the program continued broadcasting as
Umagang Kwentuhan on
Facebook Live the day after until June 30. On July 15, 2020, the current affairs division's documentary section of
ABS-CBN News, including the staff from the program became part of the series of retrenchments following the
July 10 vote of the House Committee on Legislative Franchises denied the network a congressional franchise and cancelled. ==Hosts==
