== History ==
On July 18, 1959, WBAO began broadcasting under Columbia Pictures. It would remain owned by the company until the network was spun off independently in 1973. The channel began color operation in 1964, and was a full color station by 1976. In 1982, a buyout was proposed by RKO to purchase the station, but was cancelled within a few months.
In 1987, Arts Media Limited purchased WBAO and was rebranded as The Science & Action Channel. In 1993, Arts Media was purchased by Viacom. In 1995, WBAO was once again rebranded, this time under Viacom's brand of networks, UPN. 
In December 2005, it was announced that Viacom would be splitting into two companies and because of this, UPN would merge with The WB to form The CW, however since The WB did not have a station in grove city, it was announced WJRA would lose its CBS affiliate in favor of The CW, and the CBS broadcasting would go to WBAO. The change was completed in September 2006. WBAO was now a CBS affiliate.
In March 2007, WBAO tested HD programming. In 2009, the network went full HD to commemorate with the station's 50th year on air. This year also marked the end of WBAO's analog service.
