WZRB, channel 47, is the CW affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina. It is owned by St. Louis-based Roberts Broadcasting.
It was launched on January 1, 2005 as a UPN affiliate. Before that, WBHQ carried UPN programming on a secondary basis along with WB programming. Its transmitter is located in Columbia.
On January 24, 2006, it was announced that UPN and The WB would merge into a new network called The CW in September 2006. WZRB became Columbia's CW affiliate.

[edit] Digital television
Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [1], the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 17, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, WZRB will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
