Previously, Channel 29 was home to W29JS, an affiliate of The Box. 
WTWN signed on at 12:00 AM on New Years Day 1999 as an affiliate of The WB, replacing WGNT, It's future sister station. It was to origionally launch with no affiliation, however The WB came at the last second, desperate to fins a new affiliation. From 1999 to 2003, the station would only identify itself as "29 Buffalo", becoming one of few WB affiliates to not identify itself with the network. 
On January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation announced that the two companies would shut down The WB and UPN and combine the networks' respective programming to create The CW, which WTWN would affiliate with come launch on September 18, 2006. 
WTWN was bought by BIG Media in 2010 due to owners MediaCert LLC going bankrupt.
