WPGA-LD (channel 50) is a
county line.History
The station first signed on the air on April 13, 1998, as W52CL on channel 52; it originally operated as an
Retro Television Network
on October 12. The day after the switch, the station's callsign was changed to WPGA-LP.
WPGA-LP had a
flash-cut its digital signal into operation, which would significantly increase its signal coverage; this permit expired in March 2009. In mid-August 2011, WPGA-LP changed its primary affiliation to This TV, which was previously carried on the second digital subchannel of WPGA-TV (which is now affiliated with MeTV
).
In addition to This TV programming, WPGA-LP for a time once used to simulcast the
WPGA (980 AM) and WNEX
(1400 AM), each weekday from 6 to 9 a.m.
On July 2, 2015, This TV moved back to WPGA-TV on DT3; subsequently, WPGA-LP went dark for an undetermined amount of time.
On July 14, 2021, WPGA-LP was licensed to begin digital operation, changing its call sign to WPGA-LD.
On October 26, 2021, after six years of silence, WPGA-LD returned to the air affiliating with the Atlanta-based 24 hour news network Newsy (now Scripps News). As of October 1, 2023, it switched to Peachtree Sports Network.
