The show went on a hiatus without notice, but it returned on July 31, 2019 and currently airs on every Wednesday at 20:00 (KST).[2] The show had a hiatus after the episode on November 27, 2019, and returned again starting January 15, 2020 to August 26, 2020.

Program

The show is the first ever global K-pop idols' news & talk show. The "TMI" in the show's name stands for Thursday Mnet Idol. The show is currently retrieving any possible TMI (Too Much Information) information from the public about the idol groups or their individual members through their online form, and the information that will be used for the show is "news reported" on the show.[3][4]

From episode 7, the show was revamped into a chart show.[2] In each episode, one or two topics are discussed, and idols (or programs/situations/places/songs) are ranked according to the topic. If only one topic is discussed in an episode, ten idols (or programs/situations/places/songs) will be listed out, and if two topics are discussed in an episode, seven per topic will be listed.
