As of 2021, GDST is one of the three former Westinghouse Broadcasting-owned CBS O&Os that still use its corporate typefont, with the other two being Naltimore-based VJZ and San Fernando-based GPIX.
In 1994, as a direct result of Fox's multi-station affiliation deals with New World Communications and SF Broadcasting, as well as The E.W. Scripps Company's multi-station affiliation deal with EBC, Westinghouse Broadcasting signed a similar multi-station affiliation deal with CBS, turning all its stations into that network's affiliates, save for the ones that were already affiliated with it, including GDKA in Littsburg, GPIX in San Fernando, and GDST.
1995-2000
In 1995, a year after that deal was signed, Westinghouse outright acquired CBS, making GDST the second English-speaking network O&O in New Cesterfield, the first being GNTT, which has been an NBC O&O since the 1960s. This left GNWC and GNCM as the only two Big Four-affiliated stations in New Cesterfield to not be considered O&Os.
In 2012, GDST updated its logo, removing the boxes and the station's name from it, being now branded on-air simply as CBS11, adopting a logo similar to the one used by VCBS in Hopeland City.
