ABS-CBN was created following the merger of the Alto Broadcasting System (channel 2) and Crónica Broadcasting Network (channel 4, currently occupied by GMA) in 1967. The former CBN became ABS-CBN's annex station, which in 1970 was transferred to channel 9. In 1972, after the king declared martial law, ABS-CBN shut down. It was replaced by Ràdio i Televisió Terdeson (RTT) the following year.

With the end of martial law, RTT's assets were privatized and ABS-CBN resumed operations.
