WANE-TV history
WANE-TV company history timeline
The station signed on the air on September 26, 1954, as WINT, originally broadcasting its signal from a transmitter in Auburn.
The Indiana Broadcasting Company, owner of WISH-TV in Indianapolis and WANE radio (1450 AM, now WIOE), purchased WINT in 1956.
The station has always been a CBS affiliate, but also maintained a secondary affiliation with ABC until WPTA (channel 21) signed on in September 1957.
Indiana Broadcasting became known as the Corinthian Broadcasting Company in 1957.
WANE radio was sold off in 1966.
After the launch of UPN on January 16, 1995, Fox affiliate WFFT (channel 55) began a secondary affiliation with the fledgling network.
The network's programming eventually moved to WANE-TV full-time in 2003 after it launched a new digital subchannel.
In September 2006, UPN programming was dropped after the network merged with The WB (seen locally on WPTA-operated cable-only outlet "WBFW") to form The CW.
On September 15, 2008, WANE announced LIN TV, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks had not been able to reach an agreement to renew carriage of WANE and other LIN-owned stations on the two cable providers due to a dispute over compensation for the stations' carriage.
On March 21, 2014, Media General announced that it would purchase LIN Media and its stations, including WANE-TV, in a $1.6 billion merger.
On or around October 4, 2018, WANE-TV incorporated the CBS eye with the "15" and updated the logo.
