During its first season as such, the station provided coverage of the Colts' victory in <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_V" title="Super Bowl V">Super Bowl V</a> in 1971. This partnership continued until 1981, when WMAR-TV became the team's unofficial home station again for their last three seasons in Baltimore (although the station continued to air Colts games in those three seasons, they were limited to home interconference contests). When the reorganized <a href="/wiki/Baltimore_Ravens" title="Baltimore Ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> began play in 1996 after moving the old <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Browns" title="Cleveland Browns">Cleveland Browns</a> franchise to Maryland, WBAL-TV became the new team's station of record, but only for two seasons; in 1998, most games were moved to WJZ-TV. Presently, WBAL-TV airs any Ravens games when they play on NBC's <i><a href="/wiki/NBC_Sunday_Night_Football" title="NBC Sunday Night Football">Sunday Night Football</a></i> and on <i><a href="/wiki/Monday_Night_Football" title="Monday Night Football">Monday Night Football</a></i> contests exclusive to ESPN, the latter being a benefit of Hearst's 20 percent ownership of ESPN. </p><p>The station aired any <a href="/wiki/Baltimore_Orioles" title="Baltimore Orioles">Baltimore Orioles</a> baseball games as part of NBC's broadcast contract with Major League Baseball from the establishment of the new Orioles franchise in 1954 (move of the old <a href="/wiki/St._Louis_Browns" title="St. Louis Browns">St. Louis Browns</a> to the city) until 1981; it also aired all of the Orioles' postseason games through NBC's limited contract from 1995 to 2000. During its time as a CBS station, WBAL-TV also broadcast select games involving the Orioles through CBS's MLB broadcast contract from 1990 to 1993. From 1964 until his retirement in 1995, Vince Bagli was WBAL-TV's <a href="/wiki/Sportscaster" class="mw-redirect" title="Sportscaster">sportscaster</a>.

WBAL's newscasts have spent the better part of its history in either first or second place in the ratings. It led the ratings from the 1960s until WJZ-TV passed it in the early 1970s. However, for the better part of the last 40 years, WBAL-TV had waged a spirited battle for first place in the ratings with WJZ-TV. In recent years, WBAL-TV's newscasts placed first at 5, 6 and 11 p.m. However, in the November 2009 <a href="/wiki/Nielsen_ratings" class="mw-redirect" title="Nielsen ratings">Nielsen ratings</a> <a href="/wiki/Sweeps" class="mw-redirect" title="Sweeps">sweeps</a> period—the first since the debut of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Jay_Leno_Show" title="The Jay Leno Show">The Jay Leno Show</a></i>—WBAL's 11 p.m. newscast fell precipitously from first to a distant second behind WJZ (by contrast, the 11 p.m. newscast on WRC-TV in nearby Washington, D.C. was one of the least affected late-night newscasts of any NBC affiliate or <a href="/wiki/Owned-and-operated_station" title="Owned-and-operated station">owned-and-operated station</a> in the country; it continued to dominate its competitors). WBAL still continued to lead at 5 and 6 p.m. until the November 2011 sweeps period. Since NBC took Leno off of prime time in February 2010—in part due to complaints from WBAL and other affiliates about effects on its newscasts—viewership of channel 11's late newscast has often come close to the WJZ newscast. However, since the November 2011 sweeps period, WJZ's newscasts took the lead in nearly all time slots but WBAL is still a strong second. </p><p>In 1974, WBAL introduced the <i><a href="/wiki/Action_News" title="Action News">Action News</a></i> format to Baltimore. Characterized by short, usually 90 second, news "packages" and upbeat introductory news themes, Baltimore's <i>Action News</i> briefly replaced WJZ as the number one news station in Baltimore during the mid-1970s. The architect of the success was news director <a href="/wiki/Ron_Kershaw" title="Ron Kershaw">Ron Kershaw</a>, who had come to Baltimore from <a href="/wiki/Texas" title="Texas">Texas</a> and was considered somewhat ahead of his time.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He brought in talented anchors like <a href="/wiki/Sue_Simmons" title="Sue Simmons">Sue Simmons</a> and <a href="/wiki/Spencer_Christian" title="Spencer Christian">Spencer Christian</a> but also replaced long-time local news anchor Rolf Hertsgaard with controversial out-of-towner <a href="/wiki/Don_Harrison" title="Don Harrison">Don Harrison</a> and streamlined the news operation.
