KSM-TV[]

1947-1955[]

WSBR was originally signed on by the Crane Broadcasting Group as KSM-TV (derived from former sister station, KSM 750 AM, which Crane had also owned)

1955-1960[]

1960-1979[]

Prior to its retirement in 1992, this "4" was one of WSBR's remaining links to its previous call-sign. During this logo's use, Combined Communications had acquired the Crane Broadcasting Group around 1969.

In 1979, the Gannett Company would acquire Combined Communications. In order to comply with a recent FCC regulation that prohibited cross ownership, they had to sell both KSM AM as well as "The Tri-City Maryland Report" newspaper (Which WSBR's newscast title from 1948-2013 was derived from). KSM-TV was renamed to WSBR-TV, also due to an FCC regulation that prohibited both the radio and TV stations from sharing the same call-sign when owned by two different companies respectively.

A notch was added to 1960 "4", giving it an arrow akin to real life KDFW's 1970-1989 logo

1987-1992[]

On November 17, 1990, WSBR and WHHS swapped affiliations as a result of WHHS' owners opting to not renew their affiliation with NBC. As a result, WSBR's original affiliation, ABC, went over to WHHS, while NBC moved over to the (at the time) much higher rated Channel 4.
