Cristy Per Minute (later Cristy FerMinute) was a weekly entertainment news and talk show, now a showbiz-oriented live radio talk show in the Philippines. It was premiered on ABS-CBN as Cristy Per Minute which started from 1995 and ended in 1999, then its name was changed to Cristy FerMinute, which is currently airing on the flagship radio station of TV5, 92.3 NewsFM. Both shows are hosted by Cristy Fermin.

Cristy Per Minute on ABS-CBN

Cristy Fermin back then was one of the hosts of the top-rating Sunday showbiz show Showbiz Lingo. When ABS-CBN executives saw her expertise in exploiting the latest showbiz news, they decided to put up a show that the masses would also look forward to aside from Showbiz Lingo. Cristy Per Minute was conceptualized by ABS-CBN and aired its first episode sometime in 1995. In here, Cristy can interview famous showbiz personalities about their latest events, dish out her own opinions and even letting the viewers have their own view about the intrigues and headlines.[1]

The show was also hosted by Ogie Diaz and John Lapus, where they worked with Fermin also in the top-rated Sunday talk show Showbiz Lingo. Their job on the show is to guide the viewers about the latest topics through voting and texting, wherein they have to answer a poll question and through their own segments. The question is about the celebrity that guested on the show.[2] Along with Diaz and Lapus, Gia Garchitorena was also joined in as co-host of the show, all 3 were hired by then-Supervising producer Deo Endrinal.[3]

Cristy Per Minute made a tremendous run for quite some time that it had beaten the rival network's showbiz-oriented shows. However, by 1999, the show had to air its final episode after a successful 4 year run on the network.[4]

Cristy FerMinute on 92.3 News FM

Fermin, who is now working in TV5 due to the suspension given to her by ABS-CBN, is currently hosting a showbiz-oriented radio show on 92.3 NewsFM, where the show is called Cristy Ferminute. The name seemed to be synonymous to the show she had here in channel 2 for 4 years, but her name was there, only added the "...ute" after her surname. She is joined by Richard Pinlac as her co-host. Elmer Reyes and Arniel Serato later joined the show, a few months after the program's pilot episode. The radio show dishes out the latest showbiz news that are currently happening in the country and in abroad.[5][6]
