WGNM digital channel 45 is a television station in Macon, Georgia. It is an owned and operated station, broadcasting the programming of the Christian Television Network.
On 2 September 2006, thirteen days before the shutdown of the network, WGNM's contract with UPN came to an end. Subsequently, WGNM became a full time CTN affiliate.
In 2008, WGNM ceased analog TV broadcasts on channel 64 on February 1. The station originally planned to keep the analog signal until the 2009 conversion. It is the only full-power station in Georgia to end analog before the original 2009 deadline of February 17.[2]
On May 11, 2008, the station was knocked off the air by storm damage; it has since returned to the air soon afterward.[3]
