March marks the 11th anniversary of Macon's WPGA-58.
WPGA signed on in March, 1995 as the area's first FOX affiliate but this relationship was brief. "Fox 58" became "58-ABC" on January 1, 1996.
The station tried and failed to offer local news programs. Their non-network schedule includes game shows, Entertainment Tonight, Martha Stewart, Judge Mathis and The People's Court.
WPGA was one of the first in the area to broadcast in HD.
The station's current slogan is "We Are Family" and uses the song from Sister Sledge in its promotions.
WPGA is the only locally owned TV station in Macon, owned by Register Communications along with three radio stations: "Radio Disney" affiliate WNEX-AM Macon, "Radio Disney" WPGA AM and "Mix 100.9" WPGA-FM radio of Perry, Georgia
