WYGA-CA is a low-power television station serving the southern suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, affiliated with the Spanish-language LAT TV network. It is licensed to Atlanta and broadcasts on analog channel 45. The station is owned by Equity Broadcasting of Little Rock, Arkansas.
[edit] History
Originally granted the callsign W07CP in November 1997, it became W55CR in December 1998 broadcasting on channel 55. The station then was granted the call letters WDAH-CA from January 2004 to July 2005. After a change in ownership, the station changed call letters and became WYGA-CA . In recent filings with the FCC, WYGA-CA had been forced to cease operations on a full time basis on its allocated channel 55 due to issues with its transmit site. In 2009, the FCC are requiring U.S. television stations to vacate channels 52-69. Consequently, WYGA-CA, which had been operating on channel 55, had applied to the FCC for the displacement channel 45. The channel 45 application was disputed by WGCL-TV due to the fact that it is an adjacent channel to WGCL-TV's analog channel 46 causing interference in certain areas. In 2009, WGCL-TV has chosen to cease operation on its analog channel 46, and move to its allocated digital channel 19, thus eliminating the adjacent channel interference situation from WYGA-CA on channel 45. In order to avoid losing the authorization of channel 45 due to a statutory 12 month cut off, WYGA-CA had been broadcasting on a Special Temporary Authorization basis on channel 45 at a low power (2 kW ERP) until the dispute of the station operating at a higher power on channel 45 can be resolved.
