Additionally, its radio sister has been the flagship station of Ohio State football and basketball for decades.

Because of the Big Ten Network's exclusive contracts to cover live Ohio State sports, WBNS now only carries selected CBS Big Ten basketball broadcasts on weekends and latter portions of the conference tourney, although the programming outside of live sports remains produced by WBNS-TV; <a href="/wiki/WSYX-DT3" class="mw-redirect" title="WSYX-DT3">WSYX-DT3</a> and <a href="/wiki/WCMH-TV" title="WCMH-TV">WCMH-TV</a> currently air Ohio State football games through their affiliations with Fox and <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> and those respective networks' contracts with the <a href="/wiki/Big_Ten_Conference" title="Big Ten Conference">Big Ten Conference</a>.

Since the sale of the station to Tegna, however, WBNS-TV's ratings have plummeted, with WCMH-TV and WSYX battling for first, with WSYX edging out WCMH-TV for the top spot.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first major challenge to Channel 10's dominance occurred in 1985, two years after WCMH began featuring the popular anchor team (and then-married couple) of <a href="/wiki/Doug_Adair" title="Doug Adair">Doug Adair</a> and Mona Scott. From then until the mid-2000s, WBNS-TV and WCMH alternated holding the dominant ratings position for their 11 p.m. newscasts (and were virtually tied for ratings leads). However, since 2002, WBNS-TV has returned to a dominant position due to stronger CBS programming and CBS' reacquisition of Sunday-afternoon <a href="/wiki/NFL" class="mw-redirect" title="NFL">NFL</a> telecasts. WBNS-TV usually rotates games among the two teams with the largest followings in the Columbus market—the <a href="/wiki/Cincinnati_Bengals" title="Cincinnati Bengals">Cincinnati Bengals</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Browns" title="Cleveland Browns">Cleveland Browns</a> (both of whom are part of the CBS package for the <a href="/wiki/American_Football_Conference" title="American Football Conference">American Football Conference</a>).

The song "Carousels (Dreaming of Tomorrow)" by Columbus rock band Alamoth Lane was used throughout the course of the campaign. Some of the band members were shot playing on the roof of WBNS with the Columbus skyline behind them. The song was also used to promote sister station WTHR's 50th anniversary in 2007. </p><p>The station began making preparations for the transition to HD in late March 2007, and debuted its 5 p.m. newscast in high definition on April 2, becoming the first television station in Central Ohio to produce newscasts in HD. The station's newscasts are now known as <i>10TV News</i>; <i>10TV News HD</i> was used from 2007 to 2012, after being known as <i>10TV Eyewitness News</i> for many years. </p><p>On November 7, 2008, WBNS-TV's morning-noon anchor <a href="/wiki/Heather_Pick" title="Heather Pick">Heather Pick</a> died of <a href="/wiki/Breast_cancer" title="Breast cancer">breast cancer</a>.
