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.
