WGCW-LD, virtual and UHF digital channel 36, is a low-powered CW+-affiliated television station licensed to Albany, Georgia, United States and serving Southwestern Georgia. Owned by Gray Television, it is sister to dual NBC/ABC affiliate WALB (channel 10). The two stations share studios on Stuart Avenue in Albany, where WGCW-LD's transmitter is also located.
Even though WGCW-LD has a digital signal of its own, the low-power broadcast range only covers the immediate Albany area. Therefore, the station can also be seen through a 16:9 widescreen standard definition simulcast on WALB's fourth digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market; this signal can be seen on VHF channel 10.6 (or virtual channel 10.4 via PSIP) from a transmitter east of Doerun, along the Colquitt—Worth county line.
History
WGCW-LD was founded on February 22, 2011 as a new low-power television station on UHF channel 36, W36EG-D. In 2019, the station became the market's CW affiliate, after owner Gray Television moved the network affiliation from the third digital subchannel of CBS affiliate WSWG (channel 44), licensed to Valdosta, which was sold by Gray to Marquee Broadcasting in order to purchase WALB from Raycom Media.
