History
What is now KDLH-DT2 began as cable-only KWBD that was operated by Charter and KDLH. It began broadcasting in 1998 and was affiliated with The WB. Due to the station being cable-only and using fictional call letters, it was a member of The WB 100+ which was a group of cable-only WB affiliates that shared programming outside of the network's prime time schedule.
On January 24, 2006, The WB and UPN announced that they would cease broadcasting and merge to form The CW. At some point in time, it was announced that KDLH would carry The CW on a new second digital subchannel as part of The CW Plus. That service would be a similar operation to The WB 100+.
Area access to UPN was offered in two ways. KBJR operated an affiliate first known on-air as "UPN 9" (based on its Charter channel location) later "Nothland UPN" on its second digital subchannel. This was also available over-the-air in Ashland, Wisconsin on WAST-LP which was an over-the-air, low-powered semi-satellite of the digital subchannel. WAST-LP was owned by a separate entity from KBJR. It was later announced that "Northland UPN" would become an independent station known as "Northland 9" complete with new logo and graphics.
On February 22, News Corporation announced that it would start up another new broadcast television network called MyNetworkTV. In March, it was made public that KBJR-DT2 would become an affiliate of MyNetworkTV. In July ahead of the launch of the network, "Northland 9" became known as "My 9" and WAST-LP signed-off in August. MyNetworkTV began broadcasting on September 5 while KWBD (now officially using the KDLH-DT2 call sign) began broadcasting The CW on September 18. Like most CW Plus affiliates in the Central Time Zone, this channel offers the nationally syndicated morning show The Daily Buzz on weekdays from 5 to 8. KBJR produces a weeknight primetime newscast on its second digital subchannel known as Northland's NewsCenter at 9. This had been simulcasted on KDLH-DT2 but was dropped.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
