The station is an affiliate of the CBS Television Network.

WTVF TV 5, NewsChannel 5, is the CBS network affiliate station in Nashville, Tennessee. The station began broadcasting on August 6, 1954 as WLAC TV and was owned by the Life and Casualty Insurance Company along with Nashville businessmen Guilford Dudley, Al Beaman and Thomas Baker. American General Corporation, a Houston-based insurer, bought Life and Casualty in the 1960s.

WLAC TV was sold in 1975 to the Hobby family (owners of the now-defunct Houston Post) who changed the station's call sign to the current WTVF. In 1983, the Hobbys reorganized their broadcast holdings as H&C Communications after the Post, their flagship property, was sold. Landmark Communications bought WTVF from the Hobbys in 1994. Landmark sold the station to Journal Communications, which was acquired by E. W. Scripps Company in 2015.

This TV station is owned by E.W. Scripps Company.
