WCWN signed on on July 1, 1979 on 10:00am and the callsign was called WAAC and it was an independent station. It sign on its newscast on May 4, 1981 as Newscenter 26 and it only broadcast on weekdays until spring 1996. It didn't broadcast in central Delaware due to weak signal until they built a strong transmitter for signal. In 1986 WAAC turned down to be the new Fox network. Fox instead aired on WWAC Channel 63. WAAC aired a couple ABN programs on daytime in 1990. WAAC became a charter affiliate of The WB in 1995 and renamed the callsign into WAWB in fall 1995. WAWB started airing children's programming from Kids'WB since the station never aired kids programs since 1979 due to airing comedy and drama programs. It also stopped airing ABN daytime programs due to airing Kids'WB. It started airing weekent news on spring 1996 called WB 26 News Weekend. In 1997, WAWB was blacking out at the North Jersey reigon due to being terminating North Jersey to view their programming.
