WUPA, virtual channel 69 (UHF digital channel 43), is a CW owned-and-operated television station located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The station is owned by the CBS Television Stations subsidiary of CBS Corporation. WUPA maintains studio facilities located on Northeast Expressway (I-85) in unincorporated DeKalb County (with an Atlanta address), and its transmitter is located in North Druid Hills.

On cable, the station is available in standard definition on channel 10 on Comcast Xfinity and channel 9 on Charter Spectrum, and in high definition on Xfinity channel 810 and Spectrum channel 709.

Although WGCL-TV (channel 46) manages independent station WPCH-TV (channel 17) under a local marketing agreement, occasionally as time permits, WUPA may air CBS network programs whenever WGCL is unable to in the event of extended breaking news or severe weather coverage, or special event programming.

The station first signed on the air on August 22, 1981,[1][2] as an independent station under the call letters WVEU, and was originally owned by locally based BCG Communications. Initially, it ran a schedule of business news programming during the day and the subscription television service VEU during the evenings and on weekends. By 1982, it was running VEU's programming most of the day.
