[edit] History
- 1961 - DYCB-TV 3, the first provincial TV station, was launched by ABS-CBN (then known as Bolinao Electronics Corporation). It first aired a four-hour-a-day schedule (6:00-10:00pm), transmitting on a 50-mile radius within Cebu and nearby islands. The station's 216-foot transmission tower (then the tallest structure in Cebu) was originally from the network's flagship TV station, DZAQ-TV 3, used during the first telecasts in 1953.
- 1973 - After the declaration of Martial Law by then-President Ferdinand Marcos, and the takeover of ABS-CBN by his crony, Roberto Benedicto, DYCB-TV reopened as DYCW-TV, and became part of the Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation (along with another ABS-CBN provincial station, DYXL-TV 4 in Bacolod).
- 1978 - Channel 3 became an owned-and-operated station of the government-owned GTV (later the Maharlika Broadcasting System). The call letters were reverted to the original DYCB-TV.
- 1988 - DYCB-TV reopened under ABS-CBN, its original owner.
