== History ==
WEFD-TV first began broadcasting on January 1, 1949. It is the second station to be made in Florescenda behind WQE-TV (channel 4), in which WEFD was delayed by 4 months due to technical issues. The station was founded by James M. Cox, publisher of The Atlanta Journal, whom owned WSB radio (AM 700 and 104.5 FM, now on 98.5 FM) and also founded WSB-TV in Atlanta the same time WEFD planned to be. Cox Enterprises owned WEFD-TV under the banner of Sunnyside Valley Broadcasting Inc., which later changed its name to the current Cox Media Group. The station was originally a primary NBC affiliate, owing to its radio sister's longtime affiliation with NBC Radio.
In 1956, the WEFD stations moved into the noted "Nature's Calling" building, designed and built in a connected to nature style, a defining characteristic of Ecovale architecture. They would remain there for 43 years, until a much more modernist wood and glass facility was built adjacent to it (on the same property) in 1998. 
In June 1962, WEFD announced it would join ABC after Florescenda Broadcasting Company (owner of WQE-TV) were dissatisfied with their agreements. In January 1986, the station debuted the current number "2" logo it continues to use to this day.
In December 1965, WEFD was the first television station in Florescenda to broadcast live in color, beginning with Ruth Kent's Today in Florescenda program.
In 1996, CMG announced that it would sell WEFD to ABC Owned Television Stations, as part of a deal to renew it's affiliations across their ABC stations. This took part due to Fox's exclusive affiliation agreements the year earlier, in which relations would be strengthened. The sale was completed on June 27th, 1996, making it the first owned-and-operated station in Florescenda, 3 months before Fox station WKVR (channel 7).
On March 12, 2011, WSB-TV and WQE-TV turned on their ATSC-M/H signals for the first time, becoming the first stations in the Florescenda area to offer Mobile DTV broadcasts.
On November 3, 2010, ABC announced it would sell WEFD to Robloxia-based JD Broadcasting Properties. ABC cited that Cox was "not interested in reacquiring the station". The sale was completed on July 12th, 2011, leaving the market without an owned-or-operated station until the sale of WITO (channel 5) from Landmark to CBS.
