Timeline

• June 14, 1961 – DYCB-TV 3, the first provincial TV station in the Philippines, was launched by ABS-CBN (then known as Bolinao Electronics Corporation). It first aired a four-hour-a-day schedule (6:00–10:00 p.m.), transmitting on a 50-mile radius within Cebu and nearby islands. The station's 390-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 (followed by DYXL-TV 4 in Bacolod).
• 1978 – Channel 3 became an owned-and-operated station of the government-owned GTV (later the Maharlika Broadcasting System, now People's Television Network). The call letters were reverted to the original DYCB-TV.
• 1988 – DYCB-TV reopened under ABS-CBN, its original owner.
• June 28, 1988 – DYCB-TV introduced the Star Network with the famous numerical gold tri-ribbon channel 3 logo with a star.
• August 29, 1988 – TV Patrol Central Visayas (first known as TV Patrol Cebu), the channel's flagship newscast launched. With this feat DYCB became the first regional station to introduced local newscasts.
• 1989 – DYCB-TV set up its domestic satellite broadcast from Manila.
