'''West Central Ohio CW''' was the name of a cable-only [[television station]] in the [[Lima, Ohio]], [[media market]]. It was owned and operated by [[Time Warner Cable]].

==History==

The station was created on September 21, 1998 as an affiliate of [[The WB]] (via [[The WB 100+]]), using the fake calls '''WBOH''', but switched to [[The CW]] when The WB shut down on September 18, 2006. That same day, local [[NBC]] affiliate [[WLIO]] was still in negotiations with local Time Warner Cable to carry WBOH's CW digital signal on its basic cable lineup on channel 3, The WB's former channel number. On November 20, WLIO finally reached an agreement with Time Warner Cable and began to carry The CW on basic cable channel 3, as well as on WLIO's [[digital subchannel]], channel 35.2 / 8.2.

WLIO's affiliation with The CW ended on September 17, 2008, and was not renewed. Had it been, Lima, Ohio, would have become the first market where the affiliates of all six major networks would have been controlled by a single company. Shortly thereafter, West Central Ohio CW was reinstated on cable only, carrying programming supplied by the [[The CW Plus|CW Plus Network]]. In 2010, Time Warner Cable replaced The CW Plus with [[Dayton, Ohio|Dayton]]'s CW affiliate [[WBDT]] in its Lima channel lineup.<ref>Per [[Zap2it]]; zip code 45801; Time Warner Cable Lima.</ref>
