The station joined The WB as a charter affiliate in 1995 W48AP, by then WNGT-LP, took the UPN affiliation. It also carried SportsChannel America's package of National Hockey League games.

W48AP would end up carrying low-tier satellite networks by 1990, not coming back to any prominence until 1995. Notably, the channel's launch undercut an attempt by W48AP to become the market's second independent outlet upon its launch, as with Buckeye's backing, most of the syndicated programming not taken by Fox affiliate WUPW (channel 36) ended up with ToledoVision 5, along with a prime channel slot compared to W48AP's 29B slot and a refusal by Block Communications, which owned both The CableSystem and The Toledo Blade, to carry W48AP's listings outside of paid advertising. to 12 a.m., with Travel Channel broadcasting over the channel space at other times.

Despite being a cable-only affiliate of The CW, the station never was part of The CW Plus and had been independently programmed by Block Communications and Buckeye with syndicated programming and films outside of network hours. Following its merger with UPN, the channel joined The CW. In 1995, the channel became an affiliate of The WB under the name Toledo's WB 5, using a logo with the fictitious call letters WT05. It existed in several forms from the launch of Buckeye as "The CableSystem" in 1971, first as a traditional public access station, and then in 1989 becoming a traditional independent station which aired programming traditionally aired in syndication by broadcast stations. It was carried on channel 5 on Buckeye CableSystem and various other channel positions on Time Warner Cable and Comcast.
