On September 14, 1986, after the People Power Revolution, Geny Lopez returned to the country after self-exile in the United States and started rebuilding from what was left of the station after the Revolutions. Recovery was difficult and resources were low, hence, former ABS-CBN employees Freddie Garcia, Ben Aniceto, and Rolly Cruz were brought in to rework the station's programming. Thus, the channel began to rebroadcast to viewers once again starting 14 September of the same year. Aniceto, who worked as the Program Director for Radio and Television of the network and station manager of Channel 2 in the 1970s, was served as the first Vice President and General Manager of ABS-CBN upon the network's reopening from 1986 to 1987.
On March 1, 1987, Channel 2 was relaunched with the live musical special, The Star Network: Ang Pagbabalík Ng Bituin (The Return of the Star) which noted for the then-brand-new numerical white tri-ribbon channel 2 logo with a white rhomboidal star (from 1987 to 1993 the ribbons were tri-colored in red, green and blue) as a centerpiece of the network's revival. By 1988, ABS-CBN had regained its foothold in the Philippine TV ratings from dead last (#5) to being number 1 again nationally - as a result of the rebranding.
Peter Musñgi, who first joined ABS-CBN in 1968 as announcer for its radio station 101.0 DZYK FM, became the network's voiceover from 1972 months before its closure due to Martial Law and again from March 1987 to May 5, 2020 replacing the short-lived announcer George Mercado who became voiceover from its reopening in September 14, 1986 until March 1987 and later became the voiceover for Kapamilya Channel on June 13, 2020 and Kapamilya Online Live on August 1, 2020 following the shutdown of main terrestrial ABS-CBN channel on May 5 of the same year thus making him the longtime announcer or voiceover of the network.
Why does Kapamilya Online Live air old shows from the original ABS-CBN at 8 AM, 10 AM, 4 PM, 5 PM and 10:15 PM on Weekdays?
