Similar to Manila-based DZMM, DYAB also had a television channel on Sky Cable named DYAB TeleRadyo Cebu where the studio and hosts of its programs can be seen by its listeners and viewers. Selected programs of DZMM were also aired on the station.

On May 5, 2020, the station suspended its broadcasting activities, following the cease-and-desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission due to the expiration of ABS-CBN's legislative license to operate. On May 8, 2020, most of its programming resumed via online feed and through TeleRadyo Cebu. On August 28, 2020, TeleRadyo Cebu signed off for the last time. The hosts and staff of the station launched Sibya TV on September 1, 2020.[7]
