DWWX-TV was the flagship VHF television station of the Philippine network ABS-CBN. The station was owned and operated by ABS-CBN Corporation, with its studio and transmitter located at the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center on Sgt. Esguerra Avenue corner Mother Ignacia Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila.
It was regarded as the first and oldest television station in the Philippines. The station served as the originating channel of the network's national programming, which was relayed to all its regional stations.
On May 5, 2020, the station's broadcasting operations, along with those of its sister television and radio stations, were effectively terminated following a cease-and-desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), after the expiration of ABS-CBN's legislative franchise.
