WHP-TV first hit the air on 4 July 1953 under the ownership of Commonwealth Communications; it was the only TV service in the USA to started operating as a three-letter callsign. Local 21 News signed in as a Dumont Television-affiliate, inside the studios from Locust Street, Harrisburg. Later, the channel dropped DuMont and started sharing CBS content along with WSBA-TV in York and WLYH-TV in Lebanon. In 1961, WHP-TV transferred from CH 55 to UHF CH 21. Commonwealth decided to sell CH 21 to Clear Channel Communications in 1995, and at the end of that year, WHP (now CBS 21 Harrisburg) became the only CBS affiliate network.

Clear Channel, on 20 April 2007, made an agreement with Newport Television by Providence Equity Partners to sell its entire TV Group. On 19 July 2012, the company decided to sell WHP to Sinclair Broadcasting along with five other TV channels, as a part of the deal to vend its 22 stations to Cox Media, Sinclair, and Nexstar. The Sinclair’s group deal was finalized on 3 December 2012. Thus, CBS 21 Harrisburg became the only Sinclair-owned service to use historic 3-letter calls.
