Public license information

WAGT-CD (channel 26) is a low-power, Class A television station in Augusta, Georgia, United States, affiliated with NBC and The CW Plus. It is owned by Gray Television alongside dual CBS/MyNetworkTV affiliate WRDW-TV (channel 12) and low-power Telemundo affiliate WGAT-LD (channel 28). The three stations share studios at The Village at Riverwatch development in Augusta;[2] WAGT-CD's transmitter is located in Beech Island, South Carolina.

Due to WAGT-CD's low-power status, it can only be seen in the immediate Augusta area. Therefore, the station's main NBC channel is simulcast in 1080i full high definition on WRDW-TV's second digital subchannel to reach the entire market.
