In 2004, the station was acquired from low-power broadcaster Crawford Broadcasting by Metro Video Productions, and was granted Class A status, thus changing its callsign to WBKA-CA.
In 2008, the station was acquired by Studio 51 Multimedia Productions, Ltd., and began operating as TV 22 Marion, offering comprehensive coverage of the events in theMarion Countyarea, as well as other original programming. In August 2009, the WBKA-CA call sign was changed to WMNO-CA (for "Marion, Ohio" ).
In 2015, the station was purchased by Positive News Network, Inc., at which point it took on its current network affiliation.
In 2017, the call sign changed again to WCBZ-CD (for "Columbus Broadcasting" ) to better reflect its new ownership by Columbus Broadcasting Corporation.
