History [link]
WBNB was the first television station in the Virgin Islands, starting operations in 1961. Starting in 1960, newspaper announcements proudly announced that the station would be affiliated with CBS and NBC, and would also carry programs from National Educational Television.[1]
WBNB's studios and transmitter were destroyed in 1989 by Hurricane Hugo, and the owners (Brisette Broadcasting) could not afford to rebuild. Benedek Broadcasting, who acquired Brisette the following year, opted to turn in WBNB's license to the FCC for cancellation, instead of rebuilding the facilities.
CBS programming returned to the USVI in 2001, via WVXF, channel 17, though switched to TV2 (Virgin Islands) in 2009.
