WAGM-DT2 is the CBS and Fox-affiliated television station for Northern Maine, United States and Western New Brunswick, Canada. It is a second digital subchannel of Fox affiliate WAGM-TV which is owned by Gray Television. Over-the-air, the station broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 8.2 from a transmitter on the northern section of Mars Hill Mountain among the wind turbines.
WAGM-DT2 can also be seen on Time Warner Cable channel 4 and in high definition on digital channel 1209. Its parent station has studios on Brewer Road/SR 210 in Presque Isle. Syndicated programming on this station includes Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, Inside Edition, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show among others.
On September 12, 2006, WAGM launched a Fox affiliate on its primary digital channel preceding the shutdown of Foxnet. The national service, comparable to The WB 100+ (also defunct), provided the area's only access to Fox on cable. The change resulted in the main CBS signal moving to this second digital subchannel.
