The channel 55 station's story links an unrealized 1968 proposal with its independent sign-on in Akron in 1985 and decades of service to the Cleveland market. Viewers remember its changing schedule, from classic sitcoms and films to Fox Kids, The WB and The CW. This notebook suits local-history readers, broadcast fans and collectors interested in how one Northeast Ohio station moved through changing eras of television.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWBNX-TV is the Akron-licensed channel 55 station serving the Cleveland television market. Its history reaches back to 1968, when evangelist Rex Humbard received a permit for WCOT-TV, a proposed station that was never completed; the FCC canceled that permit in 1976. A new licensing process began in 1980, and Akron-Rhema Television received the authorization. After the group ran short of funds, Ernest Angley agreed in 1984 to provide facilities and operating support, including studios he had acquired from Humbard. The station signed on as independent WBNX on December 1, 1985. Angley bought it outright in 1987 through Grace Cathedral, operating it as a for-profit ministry arm under the Winston Broadcasting Network name. Its programming combined classic sitcoms, films and religious shows. WBNX carried Fox Kids from 1994, joined The WB in 1997 and became a CW affiliate in 2006. The CW moved to WUAB in July 2018. Nexstar Media Group completed its purchase of WBNX in February 2025, after acquiring WJW in 2019; WBNX then reclaimed The CW affiliation and began airing WJW-produced local news. Its transmitter is in Parma, and its studios are in Cleveland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eOne Size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e8.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eLength, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e6.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eThickness, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e0.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 118 ruled pages (59 sheets) of smooth 90gsm paper for clear, bleed-resistant writing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 350gsm front and back covers with a printed front and dark grey back for durability\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Metal spiral binding that lays flat and allows easy page removal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Interior document pocket on back cover for storing receipts, maps, or notes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Compact size: 6\" x 8\" (15.2 x 20.3 cm) — portable and ride-ready\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use a soft, clean and dry cloth to gently brush any dust or dirt off from the center of book outwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, two year warranty in the EU and Northern Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Use a soft, clean and dry cloth to gently brush any dust or dirt off from the center of book outwards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"One Size","offer_id":54775188095260,"sku":"25972691526244226308","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/3144137073419106889_2048.jpg?v=1793052469","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/wbnx-tv-tv-55-akron-cleveland-spiral-notebook","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
