History

The station signed on in November 1996 under the call letters W28AC before acquiring the WGTB-LP call sign a month later. From May 2007 to December 5, 2011, MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYT-TV (channel 55) carried WGTB-LP on its third subchannel. It was also available on Time Warner Cable channel 113. On August 1, 2012, WGTB-LP flash-cut to digital operations, also on channel 28. While the station's analog signal was essentially limited to the city of Charlotte, [2] its digital signal decently covers most of the Charlotte metropolitan area. [3] However, it is not carried on any of the area's cable systems. On January 7, 2013, the station changed its call sign to the current WGTB-CD.

Programming

In addition to local and national religious programming and some secular shows, WGTB-CD carries programming from Tri-State Christian Television and The Walk TV. It also airs a block of children's E/I programming on Saturday mornings to comply with the station's Class A license. [4]
