WBOC-LD (channel 42) is a low-power television station licensed to Cambridge, Maryland, United States, serving the Salisbury, Maryland, market as an affiliate of the Spanish-language network Telemundo.[2] It is owned by the Draper Holdings Business Trust alongside dual CBS/Fox affiliate WBOC-TV (channel 16) and low-power NBC affiliate WRDE-LD (channel 31), as well as eight radio stations.[1] Telemundo Delmarva shares studios with sister station WRDE-LD in Milton, Delaware,[3] and WBOC-LD's transmitter is located near Laurel. WBOC-LD's programming is repeated on Salisbury-licensed WSJZ-LD (channel 34), with transmitter near Millsboro, Delaware.
On October 20, 2017, WBOC launched a new channel to be the area's Telemundo affiliate. In November 2017, WBOC-LD secured carriage on Delmarva area cable systems including Comcast Xfinity in Delaware and Maryland and Verizon Fios in Delaware.[4] Also in November, a standard definition simulcast of WBOC-LD started being broadcast on WBOC-TV on channel 42.2. That simulcast ended on August 13, 2018.[5]
In February 2018, the station began producing local news and weather updates in Spanish airing multiple times a day. The newscasts utilize the studio, graphics, music and talent[citation needed] of sister station WBOC-TV. Beginning in April 2019, a simulcast of WBOC-LD started being broadcast on WSJZ-LD on channel 42.3; that facility had been acquired by Draper in 2017.[6] In May 2019, a simulcast of WRDE-LD began being broadcast on a new subchannel.[7] In December 2019, a simulcast of WBOC-LD's Telemundo subchannel started being broadcast on WRDE-LD.
The station moved its license from Georgetown, Delaware, to Cambridge, Maryland, in 2020. In 2021, WBOC-LD moved from digital UHF channel 42 to UHF channel 22. On July 26, 2021, WBOC-TV's Antenna TV subchannel was moved to WBOC-LD and began broadcasting on channel 16.3.
