In summer 2012,DBC underwent a period of corporate dispute, leading the station to closure.^[2] Albert Cheng said shareholder Bill Wong had refused to invest more funds after receiving instructions from an unnamed official at the Central Government's Liaison Office in Hong Kong.^[3][4] The radio station announced its closure on 10 October 2012.^[5] On 19 October 2012, activists and radio hosts began a three-day sit-in protest in front of the government headquarters in Admiralty.^[4]

On 20 December 2013, DBC held its grand re-launch.^[6] Calling an end to the previous corporate dispute was the restructuring of board of directors. Albert Cheng is no longer a shareholder of nor a host in DBC.
