GMA had already aired selected Channel V programming from its international version (which made the former VJ's and Filipino descended Trey Farley and Joey Mead familiar to viewers of DWDB) since its first broadcast on Citynet era in 1995.

In November 2005, the station became a repeater of DZOE 11, which served as the flagship for GMA's newly-secondary national network QTV (or Quality Television, later renamed to just Q).

DWDB's UHF signal had the advantage of easier to receive in the southern areas of Metro Manila, especially in the metropolitan cities of Makati and Pasay.

The split comes after the release of GMA's 2018 financial report which declared the increasing lease payments that the network contributes to ZOE for the past three years (from ₱899.89 million in 2016 to almost a billion pesos in 2018).

GNTV Manila's intellectual unit (master control, sales, and employees), on the other hand, was successfully transferred to DWDB-TV on June 4, 2019, for the remainder of the analog broadcast run.

On May 15, 2019, GMA Network began to transmit its digital test broadcast on UHF Channel 15 (479.143 MHz) as its permanent frequency assigned by National Telecommunications Commission.

Starting February 27, 2023, DWDB-TV's feed is broadcast output on DZBB-TV, along with GMA Networks's other digital stations, has been seen on 16:9 widescreen format as being converted its mitigation of reception through analog and digital signal reception through free TV and other cable and satellite providers after almost 28 years on the usage of broadcast video picture resolution that migrated from fullscreen format (4:3).
