The new facilities offered two studios instead of one and removed technological complexity from the operation, but the station's news ratings continued to be a very distant third behind KCCI and WHO, whose news shares were among the highest in the nation. The newscasts, which relied on one-person photojournalist-reporters and straightforward presentation, were different from the market. On-air personalities received lower salaries than at KCCI or WHO. Mark Baden, a former meteorologist, noted that the station lacked the sort of community and advertising presence that its competitors had cultivated. Among the bright spots was the station's high school sports coverage, considered the most comprehensive in the market. 1113: 661:—had no other outlet for their programs in Ames or Des Moines, and the station held affiliations with all of them when it launched. On September 30, 1950, the station began presenting network programs live. The Iowa state board of education adopted a "semi-commercial" posture to the operation of WOI-TV, initially as a stopgap. It allowed the station to take in revenue from national advertising contained in network programs, but the station was not permitted to sell ad time to Iowa businesses or have local time sales representatives. The concept was to create an income source for additional equipment and improvements for WOI-TV's operation. The station also barred some categories of national advertisers, notably beer and wine; dairy farmers protested when it aired 816: 1030:

In November, the news department was split: the evening newscasts moved to Des Moines, but morning and midday newscasts as well as weather forecasts continued to originate from Ames, where WOI-TV had a four-year lease on the Communications Building but began relinquishing space. The station hoped to make the continued connection with Ames a competitive advantage to distinguish it from its competitors.

The 10 p.m. newscast averaged a share of between 8 and 13 percent of the audience; the 6 p.m. news had been moved to 5 p.m. to avoid competition; and the noon newscast was dropped. Researchers found that high turnover in on-air personnel—possibly bolstered by a national pension plan that gave lump-sum payments to employees who quit before their fifth year—and the perception of WOI-TV as an Ames station in the larger Des Moines metro area were factors in the poor ratings. Its benefits to the university were sometimes nebulous.

Though the introduction of a second early evening newscast at 6 p.m. was contemplated as early as 2002, it did not take place until 2005. It was the first time the station had aired news at 6 until 1997 and the first time it had 5 and 6 p.m. broadcasts at the same time. Citadel made another major relaunch attempt in 2006: the station rebranded as "ABC 5".

By 1983, while it still employed no sales representatives, a national company sold local and regional advertising under contract for the station with two employees in Des Moines. In comparison, WHO-TV had six full-time sales representatives. This arrangement was adopted to mollify private competition and those who felt a state agency should not compete with private enterprise. This caused revenue to lag. KCCI had revenue of $ 7 million in 1981; WOI-TV only garnered $ 4 million in that year.

It reaffirmed that the station was a commercial license by failing to reserve the channel for educational broadcasting. It made a total of 30 changes to the channels of existing stations, including WOI-TV, which would be moved from channel 4 to channel 5. This change was carried out in June 1953.

Under the plan, ISU set up the Iowa State University Equities Corporation, a non-profit company held by university administrators.

Among these was a studio-transmitter link to connect the transmitter with the Service Building on the Iowa State campus so that equipment could be moved from the transmitter site to the same building as WOI radio. The station moved from the Service Building to Exhibit Hall on the Iowa State campus in 1952.

The 1967 Iowa General Assembly created a statewide educational TV network; two years later, KDPS-TV was purchased and renamed KDIN-TV to serve as the key station of the Iowa Educational Broadcasting Services network. In 1975, an Iowa state representative introduced a bill proposing that WOI-TV be sold and the educational network move from Des Moines to Ames. 686:. Instead, technicians battled unexpected setbacks in the installation of a new antenna, including a broken winch and damage as it was raised to its position atop the tower. In the heat of the Iowa summer, sightseers jammed local roads to watch the work be done; the station returned to the air on June 29. On January 30, 1954, WOI-TV boosted its power again to the maximum of 100,000 watts. 929:

another $ 2 million in investment to move the station from Ames to Des Moines was required to make the station more competitive. The board unanimously allowed ISU to seek buyers on September 26. Unlike in 1955, when the Iowa Broadcasters Association called for WOI-TV to be sold, this time the broadcasters opposed the sale, noting that WOI had prepared broadcasters for careers in Iowa.

The Board of Regents's decision was met poorly by Iowa's private commercial broadcasters.

In 1988, the Board of Regents received a report stating that WOI-TV was ahead of schedule in operating on an aggressive commercial basis. In spite of the improved news product and increased cash flow, the station fell short of its goal to provide $ 1 million in cash a year to ISU, generating $ 400,000 in budget year 1988 and $ 500,000 in budget year 1989. 901:

The Board of Regents contested this maneuver for years, though in the late 1960s it reached an out-of-court settlement by which WOI-TV paid income taxes through 1965 and filed annual tax returns, without paying, for subsequent years.
