In 1960, a third station was in operation, DZBB-TV Channel 7 of the Republic Broadcasting System. It was owned by Robert "Uncle Bob" Stewart, a long-time American resident in the Philippines who also started with radio in 1950. RBS started with 25 employees, a surplus transmitter, and two old cameras.

During this time, the most popular horror drama series on Philippine television was Gabi ng Lagim, the talk show The Rafael Yabut Show, the first-ever dancing variety show Dancetime with Chito, the musical variety show on late-night The Bob Stewart Show, comedy show Eskwelahang Munti, the children show Uncle Bob's Lucky 7 Club, the first-ever counseling program Father Bob and His Telephone and the network's flagship news programs are Tagalog News, The News with Uncle Bob and Bulletin News. The canned foreign TV shows Combat, Ben Casey, 77 Sunset Strip, The Untouchables and the cartoon Popeye, Gumby and Baby Huey.

DZBB-TV recognize the potential in canned foreign programs for the growing middle-class market. RBS 7 rated consistently at the bottom and it was in the brink of bankcruptcy and claims for the number 1 spot in ratings against ABS-3, CBN-9, ABC-5, IBC-13, MBC-11, Clark Armed Forces 8 and PBS-10.
