Both stations moved to new studios at Reserve Square in Downtown Cleveland in February 1995.

Following the announcement of the shut down of UPN (whose programming would be merged with The WB to form The CW), all Fox-owned UPN stations, as well as a few non-Fox owned stations including WUAB, dropped the UPN name and logo from their on-air branding. WUAB officially changed its branding from "UPN 43: The Block" to "WUAB 43: The Block", keeping the UPN-styled callsign logo from before.

March–September 2006, 2011–2014

With the pending launch of a new Fox-owned network known as MyNetworkTV, WUAB dropped the UPN-styled logo and began branding as "my43: The Block" in March 2006. Note that the "block" was changed after five years to face more towards the viewer. This branding would eventually be brought back on March 27, 2011.

2015–2018

On August 24, 2015, the same day sister station WOIO unveiled a major rebranding, WUAB unveiled one of its own, retiring the "My 43" logo and brand in favor of "CLE 43" (short for Cleveland). The new logo features an abstract depiction of a "play" button, baring resemblance to the Telefutura (now UniMás) logo.

On July 11, 2018, Raycom Media and CBS Corporation announced that WUAB would assume The CW affiliation rights for the Cleveland market from WBNX-TV. WUAB became a primary affiliate of The CW on July 16; MyNetworkTV was retained as a secondary affiliation, with the service's programming continuing to air late nights.

WBNX-TV became an independent station the day prior on July 15, replacing CW daytime and prime time shows with a mix of first-run and off-network syndicated programming, and the One Magnificent Morning block on Saturdays with a mix of syndicated drama, how-to and educational children's programs.

On January 29, 2019, sister station WOIO's Me-TV digital subchannel picked up MyNetworkTV as a secondary affiliation in the late-night hours.
