WNGH-TV is a PBS member public television station licensed to serve Chatsworth, Georgia on digital TV channel 33 (virtual channel 18). It is part of the Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) state network, serving North Georgia and the Chattanooga media market. Despite its UHF frequency, the height of WNGH's transmitter makes it one of GPB's strongest stations. It provides at least secondary coverage as far north as Athens, Tennessee and as far south as metro Atlanta's north-northwestern suburbs, many of which can no longer get GPB's primary public television station, WGTV TV 8. Two broadcast translator stations help bring the signal to the mountainous parts of the service area. However, some network program duplication occurs with WTCI-TV, the main PBS station for the Chattanooga area.
The station made its first broadcast on January 30, 1967 as WCLP, a National Educational Television and Georgia Educational Television network affiliate. In effect, it was also Chattanooga's first educational television station, as WTCI-TV did not start broadcasting until 1970. In early 1979, the station added the suffix to its callsign, becoming WCLP-TV on February 2. In 2002, WCLP's digital signal started on channel 33.
