History

On October 20, 2017, WBOC launched a new channel to be the area's Telemundo affiliate. In November 2017, WBOC-LD secured carriage on Delmarva area cable systems including Comcast Xfinity in Delaware and Maryland and Verizon Fios in Delaware. [4] Also in November, a standard definition simulcast of WBOC-LD started being broadcast on WBOC-TV on channel 42.2. That simulcast ended on August 13, 2018. [5]

In February 2018, the station began producing local news and weather updates in Spanish airing multiple times a day. The newscasts utilize the studio, graphics, music and talent[ citation needed ] of sister station WBOC-TV. Beginning in April 2019, a simulcast of WBOC-LD started being broadcast on WSJZ-LD on channel 42.3; that facility had been acquired by Draper in 2017. [6] In May 2019, a simulcast of WRDE-LD began being broadcast on a new subchannel. [7] In December 2019, a simulcast of WBOC-LD's Telemundo subchannel started being broadcast on WRDE-LD.

The station moved its license from Georgetown to Cambridge in 2020. In 2021, WBOC-LD moved from digital UHF channel 42 to UHF channel 22. On July 26, 2021, WBOC-TV's Antenna TV subchannel was moved to WBOC-LD and began broadcasting on channel 16.3.
