This logo was introduced when the station was still with CBS. On January 2, 1995, WBAL-TV regained its NBC affiliation after a 14-year hiatus, swapping affiliations after The E.W. Scripps Company signed an agreement with ABC, which took WMAR-TV's affiliation away from WJZ-TV, which then-owner Westinghouse chose to sign a long-term affiliation contract with CBS (CBS would eventually acquire WJZ-TV outright).
