WBBH-TV first signed on the air on December 18, 1968. Before WBBH's existence, NBC programming in the market was relegated to off-hours clearances through a secondary affiliation with CBS affiliate WINK-TV (channel 11). As the second television station in Southwest Florida (after WINK-TV), WBBH shared ABC programming with that station until WEVU (channel 26, now WZVN-TV) signed on the air on August 21, 1974. It was founded by a consortium of local businessmen named Broadcast Telecasting Services, Inc.

Waterman Broadcasting announced on April 5, 2023, that it would sell WBBH-TV to Hearst Television, the first sale of the station in 44 years. The $220 million deal marked the sale of the company's last media property after having been founded in 1956. Company executives cited Edith Waterman's desire to sell the station before her 100th birthday. The sale was completed on June 30; Hearst will also continue programming WZVN-TV on Montclair's behalf.
