Even with new ownership, WDAU continued to rebroadcast WCBS' signal for network programming until the 1970s, when complaints about the poor quality of color network programming led it to buy a network feed. The Bulletin opted to retain WDAU-TV, and sold WCAU-TV to CBS.

Its Grade B signal reaches the Lehigh Valley, which is part of the Philadelphia market. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that there was so much signal overlap between the two stations that they were effectively a duopoly. WGBI went into a limited partnership with the now-defunct Philadelphia Bulletin in 1958 and was renamed WDAU-TV after WCAU-TV in Philadelphia, which was also owned by the newspaper. The switchover was a delicate process requiring tight coordination between engineers stationed around the clock at the transmitter site and directors at the studios since no one there could see the WCBS feed. As a result, picture quality for network programming left much to be desired. This forced station engineers to switch to and from the signal of WCBS-TV in New York City whenever CBS programming was on-the-air. For example, the Megargees found AT&T's rates for a dedicated network feed line too high for their liking. Megargee, and Frank Megargee's younger daughters: Katharine Megargee Collins, Mary Megargee Griffin, and Jean Megargee Reap.Дespite its link with one of Northeast Pennsylvania's most prestigious broadcasters (the AM station had been founded in 1925), WGBI-TV operated on a tight budget. Managed for many years by founder Frank Megargee's daughter Madge Megargee Holcomb, Scranton Broadcasters was at one time probably the only broadcasting company in the country run by five women. The station remained at this location for many years even after Scranton Preparatory School moved there. Studios were located in the basement of Scranton Prep High School on Wyoming Avenue in Downtown Scranton. It was owned by the Megargee family and its company, Scranton Broadcasters, along with WGBI radio (910 AM, now WAAF and 101.3 FM, now WGGY). The station was launched on June 7, 1953, as WGBI-TV. It exists because wind turbines run by NextEra Energy Resources at the Waymart Wind Farm interfere with the transmission of full-power television signals. WYOU operates a digital replacement translator on UHF channel 25 that is licensed to Waymart with a transmitter in Forest City. WYOU's transmitter is located at the Penobscot Knob antenna farm near Mountain Top. The two stations share studios on South Franklin Street in downtown Wilkes-Barre, with a news bureau and sales office next to WYOU's former studios on Lackawanna Avenue in downtown Scranton. The station is owned by Mission Broadcasting Nexstar Media Group, which owns Wilkes-Barre-licensed NBC affiliate WBRE-TV (channel 28), operates WYOU under a shared services agreement (SSA). WYOU, virtual channel 22 ( VHF digital channel 12), is a CBS- affiliated television station licensed to Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States and also serving Wilkes-Barre.
