WGTA (channel 32) is a television station licensed to Toccoa, Georgia, United States, serving much of the northeastern portion of the state. The station is owned by Marquee Broadcasting, and has studios on Big A Road in Toccoa; its transmitter is located northwest of Black Rock Mountain outside of Toccoa in unincorporated Stephens County.

WGTA broadcasts programming from the MeTV, Heroes & Icons, Catchy Comedy, Movies! and Story Television multicast services (all owned and operated by Weigel Broadcasting). It primarily serves four counties in northeast Georgia that are part of the GreenvilleSpartanburgAsheville market. The station provides at least secondary coverage to the extreme east-northeastern portions of the Atlanta market, including Athens, Gainesville and Braselton. Four of the five networks (Movies!, Catchy Comedy, MeTV, and Heroes & Icons) are simulcast on the second and fifth digital subchannels of WAGA-TV (5.2 and 5.5) and the fourth and seventh subchannels of WUPA (69.4 and 69.7) in the Atlanta area.
