GNCW

1987-1993
In 1987, businessman Carl Lindner, Jr. became Taft's majority stockholder in a hostile takeover and restructured the company as Great Atlansian Broadcasting (also known as Great Atlansian Communications), named after Linder's insurance company, Great Atlansian Insurance. Another new company, led by former Taft Broadcasting president Dudley S. Taft Sr., took the Taft Broadcasting name, retaining GNCP. In 1991, due to bankruptcy concerns, Taft had sold GNCP and sister station VMIL-TV to Ginago-based Tribune Broadcasting, integrating its news operations with those of now-sister publication The New Cesterfield Star and starting to use the "very own" moniker used by other Tribune stations like VGN-TV in Ginago, VPIX in Hopeland City and GTLR in Los Robles.

1995-1997
In 1995, as a result of Tribune Broadcasting's part-ownership of the network, GNCP became a charter The WB affiliate, changing its call letters to GNWB that September.

2006-2008
In 2006, following CBS Corporation and Time Warner's announcement that UPN and The WB would merge into a single network named The CW, GNWB was picked as its New Cesterfield affiliate as part of the network's affiliation agreement with the station's parent company Tribune Broadcasting. To reflect its new affiliation, its call letters were changed into GNCW.

2008-2011
On July 7th, 2008, GNCW removed references to its CW affiliation from its branding in both station promotions and its on-air logo, as part of a decision by Tribune Broadcasting to de-emphasize the network brand from its CW-affiliated stations as a result of the network's relatively weak ratings, choosing to reposition them as more "local" stations; GNCW began referring to itself simply as NC19.

2011-2018
In 2011, GNCW's NC19 logo was slightly modified, with The CW logo being incorporated into it once more.

2018-present
In 2018, GNCW starting adopting a logo similar to the one already used by GBCW in San Fernando since 2013 and by GCWI in Les Peloines from 2013 until 2018, being the only Tribune (now Nexstar) station to use that pattern.
