[edit] History
WNEG-TV signed on air as an independent station on September 29, 1984. Its first owner was the Stephens County Broadcasting Company, who also owned WNEG-AM 630.
In 1991, it was acquired by the Spartan Radiocasting Company. It acquired the CBS affiliation in 1995 and started its news operation in the same year. It adopted the branding NewsChannel 32, and adopted a logo similar to the one that sister station WSPA-TV in Spartanburg used from 1994 to 2001, also that of sister station WJBF-TV in Augusta, GA used around the same time period until 2001 which was also a Spartan station. WNEG, and its sister affiliates, along with the rest of the Spartan company, was acquired by Media General in 2000. WNEG kept the Spartan-era logo, while WSPA and WJBF switched to a Media General-standard one.
WNEG-AM still exists in Toccoa today, but under different ownership from WNEG-TV.
[edit] Trivia
WNEG-TV is one of a few stations in the USA that still sign off, usually on early Saturday morning from 2:05 am until 6:00 am and early Sunday morning from 12:30am until 5:00am.
