in december 1994, wtol replaced detroit's wjbk on the lineup of cancom (later shaw broadcast services), which provided american networks to cable and satellite viewers in many areas across canada (particularly atlantic canada and the prairies). the changeover occurred shortly before wjbk was due to switch its affiliation from cbs to fox. cbs was unable to sign a new detroit affiliate (wgpr, now owned-and-operated station wwj-tv) until mere days before the change, and as cancom had to seek regulatory approval several months in advance, it elected to go with wtol, the largest cbs station closest to detroit. wtol was carried by cancom until 1999, when it was replaced with wwj-tv. during this time, wtol was the de facto cbs affiliate for the southern part of the detroit market, as wwj-tv was all but unviewable in that area at the time. the station provides city-grade coverage to much of southern wayne and washtenaw counties, and grade b coverage to most of detroit itself.
