On June 6, 1973, fire destroyed the KBS television studios (originally, the ABS television studios) in Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City. Benedicto took control of the ABS-CBN broadcast center in Bohol Avenue, Quezon City. ABS-CBN, as a network, ceased operations for the next 14 years, and its studios became the broadcasting center of Benedicto's KBS and the government's GTV. A year later, ABS-CBN's DZAQ-TV Channel 2 would reopen as DWWX-TV Channel 2 under Benedicto's Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). In 1976, GTV-4 began color broadcasts.
