WYGA-CD is a low-power television class A station serving Atlanta, Georgia. Its city of license is Atlanta and it transmits digital TV on physical RF channel 16. The station is owned by Mako Communications, which specializes in carriage of ethnic and minority networks on their properties.
In late September 2009, the station applied to the FCC to change its digital broadcast channel to 18 (vacated by analog WNGH-TV in northwest Georgia), due to higher-than-expected co-channel interference from WGXA-TV in Macon, Georgia on channel 16. WYGA-LD's permit for channel 18 is for the same broadcast power, transmitting from the same tower at a slightly different elevation and with a slightly different antenna pattern.
The station is owned by Mako Communications of Corpus Christi, Texas.
Originally granted the callsign W07CP in November 1997, it became W55CR in December 1998, broadcasting on channel 55. The station then was granted the call letters WDAH-CA from January 2004 to July 2005. After a change in ownership, the station changed call letters and became WYGA-CA. In filings with the Federal Communications Commission, WYGA-CA had been forced to cease operations on a full-time basis on its allocated channel 55 due to issues with its transmit site, likely due to MediaFLO subscription mobile TV using the same channel, or nearby W55BM, or both.
