History
Founded on August 30, 1990, the station was launched as W26CL, a repeater of WERR. In 1998, the call signs were changed to WBOX, the station serving as a repeater affiliate for The Box music channel, which was later replaced by MTV2 in 2000. In 2002, it was acquired by the Harrisburg University of Science and Technology and ended its affiliation with MTV2. Once the university's takeover was complete, the call signs were reversed from WBOX to WXOB. The station began to offer PBS programming, as well as syndicated programs from American Public Television and other syndicators of programming for public television.
