Upon Corazon Aquino's subsequent accession to the presidency, BBC, RPN and IBC (collectively known as "Broadcast City") were sequestered and placed under the management of a Board of Administrators tasked to operate and manage its business and affairs subject to the control and supervision of Presidential Commission on Good Government. DWWX-TV was relaunched as ABS-CBN on September 14 the same year, as well as its Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo and Tacloban affiliate stations. BBC shut down its radio operations on July 15, 1986. Later, BBC shut down its television operations on September 7, 1986.
