WGFL is the CBS affiliate station in Gainesville, Florida, licensed in High Springs, Florida. WGFL is owned by CP Media, LLC. Its transmitter is located in Newberry, Florida.
WGFL is carried on Cox Cable 4 in Gainesville and the surrounding area, hence the CBS 4 branding, but not in Ocala (part of the Orlando market), where Orlando's WKMG is offered instead.
Up until December 31st, 2006, WGFL offered a simulcast of Jacksonville CBS affiliate WTEV's daily newscasts at 11 PM. WGFL now airs INN (Independent News Network) weekdays at 11pm.
Notably, WGFL offers syndicated game shows Jeopardy! and Wheel Of Fortune.
[edit] History
WGFL originally opened as a WB and secondary UPN affiliate in 1997. In 2003, following Jacksonville's CBS swap from WJXT to WTEV, WGFL also made the swap to CBS, in order to keep CBS service available in the area.
Starting in September 2006, WGFL began airing My Network TV on its DT2 subchannel, which is simulcast on WMYG-LP. On the My Network TV main network website, it lists WGFL DT2 along with WMYG-LP as an affiliate.
Up until September 2006, WGFL also operated the local WB affiliate, which was known as WB 10. [1]
