WCBI-TV’s studios are located on 5th Street South in Downtown Columbus, and its transmitter is located in northwestern Clay County . When WCBI signed on-the-air July 13, 1956, it was the first television station in North Mississippi.
On September 8, 2008, WCBI began producing the area’s second prime time newscast on this station called WCBI News at 9 on My MS. It only airs on weeknights for thirty minutes and competes with another prime time show seen for a half-hour on Fox affiliate WLOV-TV (produced Sunday through Friday nights by NBC affiliate WTVA).
For the first 23 years of its history, WCBI carried programming from all three major networks—CBS, NBC and ABC. However, it has always been a primary CBS affiliate, except during the 1977-1978 season when it was a primary ABC affiliate. During the late-1950s, it was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.
