WGFL is the CBS-affiliated television station for North Central Florida licensed to High Springs. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 28 from a transmitter in Newberry. Owned by New Age Media and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group, WGFL is sister to low-powered MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYG-LP, Class A MeTV affiliate WYME-CD, and NBC affiliate WNBW-DT. The latter is actually owned by MPS Media, LLC but operated by New Age Media through a local marketing agreement (LMA).
All four stations share studios on Northwest 80th Boulevard I-75/SR 93 in Gainesville. Syndicated programming on WGFL includes Jeopardy!, Wheel Of Fortune, Extra, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show among others. The Gainesville market is located between several other Florida DMAs. In these areas, local cable systems opt instead for the affiliate for the home market instead of WGFL. This includes Cox Communications and Bright House Networks in Ocala (part of the Orlando market) that both offer WKMG-TV. In Lake City (part of the Jacksonville DMA) Comcast provides WJAX-TV.
