History
- September 11, 1963 - PTV began broadcasting in Cebu on Channel 11, a frequency originally owned by Associated Broadcasting Corporation (now TV5 Network, Inc.) under the call sign DYMT-TV, until operations ceased following the declaration of Martial Law by President Ferdinand Marcos on September 21, 1972.
- February 2, 1974 - During the Martial Law era, the station resumed operations as DYGT-TV and became an owned-and-operated outlet of the National Media Production Center, broadcasting as Government Television (GTV). Initially overseen by Lito Gorospe and later by then-Press Secretary Francisco Tatad, it marked the establishment of the first television station in Central Visayas.
- 1978 - DYGT-TV later switched its network affiliation to the Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation and adopted a new call sign, DYCW-TV. In the same year, Government Television (GTV) was transferred to Channel 3 under the call sign DYCB-TV, and was subsequently rebranded as the Maharlika Broadcasting System (MBS) in 1980.
- February 24, 1986 - The station was officially rebranded as People's Television (PTV).
- 1988 - PTV eventually returned to Channel 11 after Channel 3 was taken over by ABS-CBN, adopting the new call sign DYPT-TV. At the time, its studios were housed in the former NMPC building along A.C. Cortes Avenue in Mandaue, which was later demolished in 2011.
- January 15, 2011 - The station temporarily ceased broadcasting to undergo facility upgrades.
- August 29, 2015 - After four years of silence in the region, PTV-11 Cebu resumed operations with a brand-new 10,000-watt transmitter from Advanced Broadcasting Electronics (ABE) Elettronica of Italy, paired with a 250-foot transmission tower located in Sitio Babag, Barangay Busay, Cebu City. The relaunch coincided with the hosting of the APEC Summit in the city.[2]
- June 1, 2018 - PTV Cebu started its ISDB-T digital test broadcasts on UHF Channel 42.
- December 16, 2021 - PTV Cebu went off the air for the second time after Typhoon Rai (Odette) struck Cebu, Bohol, and Leyte, damaging the station’s transmitter.
- January 2022 - The station resumed broadcasting once power was restored in Barangay Babag.
