Background
On February 1, 1967, the Lopez brothers' Chronicle Broadcasting Network (CBN) was renamed ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation. ABS-CBN opened its Broadcast Center along Bohol Avenue, Quezon City on December 18, 1968, and on November 14, 1969, DZAQ-TV was transferred to channel 2, where it remained the positioning frequency of the station for more than 50 years, while DZXL-TV transferred to channel 4 (and later became the state-run People's Television Network).
On September 23, 1972, ABS-CBN was forced to shut down, due to then-President Ferdinand Marcos' declaration of martial law. A year later, Roberto Benedicto (who owned the Kanlaon Broadcasting System at the time) acquired its corporate assets (including the Broadcast Center) and established a new network called Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation, with DZAQ-TV becoming its flagship station.
