WAGT-CD2 is the CW-affiliated television station for the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) of East-Central Georgia and West-Central South Carolina. The station is part of The CW Plus. It is a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WAGT-CD owned by Gray Television.
Over-the-air, WAGT-CD2 broadcasts a 720p high definition digital signal on UHF channel 30.2 (or virtual channel 26.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter in Beech Island, South Carolina's Spiderweb section. It can also be seen on Knology channel 12 and Comcast channel 23. Known on-air as CW Augusta, WAGT-CD2's parent station has studios on Broad Street/US 1/US 25/SR 28/SR 104 in Downtown Augusta.
The station signed-on in September 1998 alongside the launch of The WB 100+ national service. It was a cable-exclusive WB affiliate with the faux call sign "WBAU" (standing for The WB AUgusta). At some point in the early-2000s after operating as a separate entity (with advertising sold by WBEK-CA, now WAGT-CD), WBAU began to be managed by and have advertising services provided through WAGT.
