The station first signed on the air on July 1, 1954 under the callsign WDBO-TV, standing for the two major cities in the market; Daytona Beach and Orlando. As it was informally known, "Way Down By Orlando". It is the sixth-oldest television station in Florida, and the oldest in Central Florida. It was originally owned by the Orlando Broadcasting Company, which also owned WDBO radio (580 AM and 92.3 FM, now WWKA).

This logo scheme was also used by then-sister stations owned by the Outlet Company: WCMH-TV in Columbus, Ohio, KSAT-TV in San Antonio, WJAR-TV in Providence, and a flipped version by WNYS-TV (now WSYR-TV) in Syracuse, New York.

The "6" survived a callsign change. A similar logo would later be used by WRTV from 1989-2012, and WBRC from 1981-1998, and 2024–present.

In 1982, the WDBO radio stations were sold to Katz Broadcasting, as Outlet decided to begin exiting radio. Outlet was nearly bought out by Columbia Pictures around the same time. In advance of this, channel 6 prematurely changed its call letters to WCPX-TV on June 6 (which stood for "Columbia Pix", shorthand for "Pictures"). While the deal fell through, channel 6 kept the WCPX calls for 16 years.

1982–1995[]

In 1986, WCPX was sold to First Media Television L.P., a private company controlled by the Marriott Corporation.

In 1997, First Media merged with the Meredith Corporation, which already owned Fox affiliate WOFL (UHF channel 35). At the time, duopolies were not allowed, and Meredith decided to keep WOFL (which has since been sold to Fox in 2002). In mid-1997, Meredith swapped WCPX-TV to what was then known as Post-Newsweek Stations in exchange for Hartford, Connecticut's WFSB (which at the time was Post-Newsweek's flagship station).

On January 30, 1998, the station changed its callsign to WKMG in honor of longtime Washington Post publisher, Katherine Meyer Graham. The former WCPX calls were later used by Paxson Communications (owner of WOPX-TV) for its Chicago station WCFC-TV.
