WRBL-TV premiered on November 15, 1953, and is Georgia's third oldest station outside of Atlanta, Georgia. The CBS-affiliated station was owned by James Woodruff Jr. along with WRBL Radio, purchased by his father in 1931. During the 1960s, the station shared the airwaves with ABC and NBC but never became a full affiliate. It is thought to be one of the few two-station markets in the 1960s without its own primary NBC affiliate. Following the death of James Woodruff Jr. in 1978, the station fell under various ownerships. It is currently owned by Nexstar Media Group. On September 6, 2018, WRBL opened a news bureau on the downtown campus of Columbus State University and is in the CSU's Carpenter Building. It currently broadcasts 22 hours of locally produced content each week.
