“TK” is journo-lingo shorthand, used primarily in online comms referring to content that is “to come” or “on its way in time for the deadline.”

The vast majority of Americans are not journalists, so why use arcane journo-lingo?

"TBA" - "To Be Announced" is what we use out here in the real world.

How do they get “TK” out of “To Come”? It’s not even a Latin translation, which would be “Venire”.
