WCTV is the CBS-affiliated television station for South Georgia and Florida's Big Bend. Licensed to Thomasville, Georgia, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 46 (or virtual channel 6.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter in unincorporated Thomas County, Georgia, southeast of Metcalfe, along the Florida state line. Owned by Gray Television, WCTV has studios on Halstead Boulevard in Tallahassee, Florida (along I-10).
On cable, the station is available on channel 9 on Comcast Xfinity and channel 6 in most outlying areas of the market, and in high definition on Xfinity channel 433.
WCTV was Tallahassee and southwest Georgia's first, and until 1960 (WFSU-TV) its only television station. The station first signed on on September 15, 1955, using channel 6, from studios on North Monroe Street in Tallahassee. WCTV was originally owned by John H. Phipps. Although it has always considered itself a Tallahassee station, it was licensed to Thomasville because the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had allocated only one VHF channel to Tallahassee, channel 11.
