WKBD-TV was signed on in 1965 by the Kaiser Broadcasting Company as an independent television station. This logo was shared with Kaiser's other independent stations.
Later in 1994, on December 11, WKBD lost its Fox affiliation as WJBK and its owner, New World Communications, signed a deal with the network. The Fox logo was removed from the station's logo as a result.
1995–2001
In 1995, Viacom launched UPN, with WKBD serving as one of the backbones of the new network. Soon afterward, it began branding itself as UPN 50.
