WGCW-LD (channel 36) is a low-power television station in Albany, Georgia, United States, affiliated with The CW Plus. It is owned by Gray Television alongside dual NBC/ABC affiliate WALB (channel 10). Both stations share studios on Stuart Avenue in Albany, where WGCW-LD's transmitter is also located.

Due to WGCW-LD's low power status, its broadcast range only covers the immediate Albany area. Therefore, it 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 channel 10.4 from a transmitter east of Doerun, along the ColquittWorth county line.
