DYAC-TV

DYAC-TV is a television station based in Cebu City, Philippines. The station operated as a regional relay outlet for DWAC-TV, the Manila station associated with ABS-CBN's national television distribution, rather than as an independently programmed general-entertainment network. Its transmission and broadcast facilities were located at Mt. Busay in Barangay Babag 1, Cebu City, enabling the service to reach viewers in Cebu and the surrounding Central Visayas market. The station was identified with channel 23 in its analog television operation. In this role, DYAC-TV formed part of the regional infrastructure used to distribute programming from the broader ABS-CBN television system. The station's significance was therefore primarily technical and geographic: it provided local terrestrial coverage for network programming in Cebu, while its network identity was linked to the ABS-CBN ecosystem and to AMCARA Broadcasting Network, described as the station's corporate parent in reference material. DYAC-TV was also associated with digital television transmission. Its listed digital allocations included UHF channel 37 at 611.143 MHz and UHF channel 36 at 605.143 MHz. Digital television material connected with the station referenced TV Plus services and channels such as CINEMO!, YEY!, Knowledge Channel, DZMM TeleRadyo, and KBO Channel. These channels were described as exclusive to TV Plus digital set-top boxes manufactured for the network, distinguishing them from the station's principal terrestrial relay function. The station's historical context includes ABS-CBN's regional television operations and the network's branded services, including ABS-CBN Sports and Action, which was formerly known as Studio 23. DYAC-TV should not be confused with other Cebu broadcasting properties such as DYCB-TV, DYAB, or MOR 97.1; those were separate outlets within the wider Philippine broadcasting landscape. Available reference material provides limited information about DYAC-TV's founding, management, programming schedule, commercial performance, or present operating status. Accordingly, its exact launch date, current ownership details, executive roster, and whether it remains operational are not stated here.

DYAC-TV is a Cebu City television station whose role was primarily that of a regional relay outlet. Reference material identifies it as a channel 23 station that relayed the signal of DWAC-TV, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMCARA Broadcasting Network. This arrangement placed DYAC-TV within the wider national distribution structure associated with ABS-CBN, allowing programming originating elsewhere in the Philippines to be transmitted to viewers in Cebu and nearby areas. The station's transmission site was at Mt. Busay, Barangay Babag 1, Cebu City. The location served as the technical base for its transmitter and broadcast facilities. Unlike a fully independent local broadcaster, DYAC-TV's documented identity is tied to signal distribution and regional coverage rather than to a separately documented schedule of locally produced programs, newsroom operations, or original entertainment formats. DYAC-TV was also listed in connection with digital terrestrial television. Its digital channel information included UHF channel 37, using 611.143 MHz, and UHF channel 36, using 605.143 MHz. The digital service environment included channels made available through TV Plus, a digital set-top box associated with the network. The referenced TV Plus lineup included CINEMO!, YEY!, Knowledge Channel, DZMM TeleRadyo, and KBO Channel. These services were described as exclusive to the TV Plus platform, meaning that their inclusion in digital-channel references did not necessarily mean that each was a conventional analog broadcast service of DYAC-TV. The station belongs to a broader group of Philippine broadcast outlets connected with ABS-CBN's national and regional operations. Related services mentioned in reference material include ABS-CBN, ABS-CBN Sports and Action, Studio 23, DYCB-TV, MOR 97.1, and DYAB. Studio 23 was the former identity of ABS-CBN Sports and Action, but the available material does not establish that DYAC-TV itself was independently branded under every one of those names. Its documented function is more narrowly described as a Cebu relay station. Publicly supplied reference material does not provide a confirmed founding year, founder, detailed ownership history, named executives, launch chronology, programming archive, financial data, or a definitive current-status statement. The station's present operating condition is therefore recorded as unknown rather than inferred from the status of related networks or services.
