ABS-CBN Cagayan de Oro is the main regional hub of the network's North Mindanao super region, comprising the city, Northern Mindanao region, parts of Zamboanga Peninsula, and (since 2018) the Caraga region.

History

In 1969, DXEC-TV Channel 2, the first television station in Northern Mindanao, was launched by ABS-CBN after ABS was merged with CBN into the same network. It serves as a sister station of DXAQ-TV channel 5, which opened in 1965.

During the declaration of Martial law by then-president Ferdinand Marcos in 1973, and takeover ABS-CBN by his crony Roberto Benedicto, DXEC-TV was shut down and relaunched as the Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation.

In September 1986, DXEC-TV channel 2, reopened under ABS-CBN, its original network and was reinstated as a result of the People Power Revolution's victory the past February, the network took back DXEC-TV in its frequency.

On November 21, 1988, DXEC-TV officially debuted its Star Network ident with a gold tri-ribbon channel 2 with a star at the tail, following the lead of the national flagship channel of the same name in Manila. With the later change to a red-green-blue version, the ident also served as a reminder of the station's broadcast of local and national programming via satellite relay to viewers in Region 10.

On May 1, 1995, TV Patrol Northern Mindanao becomes the station's flagship newscast.

On May 27, 2016, ABS-CBN Cagayan de Oro started its ISDB-T digital broadcast for the launching of ABS-CBN TV Plus in Cagayan de Oro.

On July 2, 2018, TV Patrol North Mindanao was relaunched, which expands the entire Caraga region carried over the Butuan-based relay TV station (TV-11 Butuan) replacing TV Patrol Caraga.

In August 2019, ABS-CBN Cagayan de Oro changed its frequency from Channel 2 to Channel 4 along with its callsign to DXCS-TV from DXEC-TV when S+A moved to Channel 23.

On May 5, 2020, ABS-CBN Cagayan de Oro went off the air for the second time as a result of the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) after the franchise expiration.
