History
The station signed on-the-air in 1953 as WROM-TV, licensed to Rome, Georgia, with signal coverage that originally favored Chattanooga. WROM was both a CBS affiliate and an ABC affiliate. It lost the ABC affiliation when WCHT signed on in 1958. It was owned by Joe Engel, who owned the Chattanooga Lookouts baseball team. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.

For many years, WROM was owned by Park Communications, which was bought by Media General in 1997. In 2006, Media General sold the station to Island Television.

Programming
In its early years, WROM was locally oriented, offering a mix of children's shows, talk and variety programs, including Point Of View, one of the longest–running local public–affairs programs in the United States.

WROM has been the local home of Tennessee Titans (based in Nashville) games since 1998 (when the team was still called the Oilers). This comes with its CBS affiliation, as CBS carries all National Football League games played in the afternoon that feature a road team from the American Football Conference, which the Titans play in.
