WCBD originally signed onto the airwaves in 1954 as WUSN-TV in what was then a very remote portion of Mount Pleasant. In 1983 Media General purchased WCBD from the State Record Company. In the years that followed, WCBD moved from last place in the market, to a contender for first place. The station went from producing one hour of local news, to producing three and one half hours of news weekdays. WCBD became an NBC affiliate in 1996. WCBD celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2014. WCBD's call letters stand for: C=Charleston, B=Berkeley, D=Dorchester for the three main counties it serves. The news operation uses the latest technology to gather information from throughout the Lowcountry and the region. The main studio is located in a totally digital facility with office, technical and studio space in Mount Pleasant (just at the foot of the Arthur T. Ravenel Jr. Bridge). In addition to our main facility, News 2 also operates a news bureau located in Columbia. Our main tower facility is located in Awendaw which services viewers in Berkeley, Charleston, Clarendon, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, and Williamsburg counties. News 2 is equipped with two microwave live trucks, a mobile satellite truck, several portable microwave live units, and a fleet of news vehicles. Our news department has access to over 50 remote cameras located throughout the Lowcountry via the SC Department of Transportation Traffic Cameras as well as our very own Sky View 2 (tower cam) overlooking the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge and the Charleston Harbor.
