The last BBC-2 logo before the 1981 rebranding as "City2 Television" appears in a quadrilateral shape containing its blue & red sides and number '2' logo in Franklin Gothic Heavy font with its low-size high distant dark shadow in zero-degree angle in the middle shape and the 'BBC' initials in an extended Franklin Gothic Heavy font in the right shape.

In 1981, BBC-2 reformatted into City2 Television as part of its plan to make the network more competitive in terms of programming. The City2 logo shows the 'city2' text in low compressed ITC Avant Garde Bold font with its same straight strokes outside. The logo may be later referenced to future ABS-CBN '2' in 1987.

City2 ended operations on 20 March 1986 at the height of the People Power Revolution along with RPN and IBC (temporarily), after reformist soldiers disabled the transmitter that was broadcasting Marcos' inauguration from Malacañang Palace. Upon Corazón C. 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 re-opened as ABS-CBN on 14 September as well the Cebu and Bacolod affiliate stations.
