WUSN-TV[]

1954–1958[]

S-l1600-2

The station signed on the air as WUSN-TV on September 25, 1954. The station was originally owned by Drayton Hastie. It aired an analog signal on VHF channel 2 and was originally an NBC affiliate with a secondary ABC affiliation. Hastie sold the station to Reeves Telecom in 1960. It shared ABC programming with WCSC-TV until 1962, when WCIV (now WGWG) signed on and took the NBC affiliation. WUSN then became a full-time ABC affiliate.

In 1971, Reeves then sold Channel 2 to State Telecasting Company, based in the state capital of Columbia. On November 8, 1971, the station adopted its current call letters, WCBD-TV standing for Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties (the three counties in the Charleston metropolitan area), calls also taken to coordinate with new sister station KCBD in Lubbock, Texas.

This logo also appears to be a modified variant of the ones used by NBC affiliates WESH in Orlando from 1970-92 and KTEW (now KJRH) in Tulsa from 1976-90.
