WBOC-TV (channel 16) is a television station in Salisbury, Maryland, United States, affiliated with CBS and Fox.

However, around 1955, it picked up a primary affiliation with CBS, relegating DuMont to secondary status until that network shut down in 1956.

However, channel 16's claimed primary coverage area includes portions of three neighboring markets.

Kent County, Delaware, home to the capital city of Dover, is part of the Philadelphia market.

WBOC-TV has long been available on cable in Accomack County, alongside the Hampton Roads stations.

In November of that same year, local ownership of channel 16 returned when entrepreneur Thomas H. Draper purchased the station.

[5] On March 3, 2003, WBOC launched a subchannel to be the area's UPN affiliate, known on-air as "UPN21 Total TV".

All news broadcasts can be seen via live streaming video on WBOC's Facebook page and mobile app.

On August 26, 2008, WBOC began airing its local newscasts in high definition from a newly constructed addition to its studios known as the "NewsPlex".

[8] In addition to the main facilities in Salisbury, the station operates Delaware bureaus in Dover (in the Rodney Village section on US 13/South Dupont Highway) and Milton (at The Square in a facility that also houses sister station WRDE-LD's news studio).

[14] On February 7, 2022, Delmarva Sports Network launched on 16.2, broadcasting games of local high school and college teams.

Since November 2010, WBOC and Fox 21 have been available on DirecTV and Dish Network in their primary five-county coverage area.

[23] On August 1, DirecTV and Draper Holdings reached a settlement, and the channels remain on the air with no blackouts.
