WDNN-CD (channel 49) andWDGA-CD (channel 43) arelow-power,Class A television stations inDalton, Georgia, United States, owned by North Georgia Television. The two stations share studios on South Spencer Street in Dalton.
WDNN started broadcasting in May 1989. The station was created to serve the community through locally produced programs. The staff initially consisted of Doug Jensen, Doug Smith, Sherry Wein and James Logan.
In the spring of 1993, WDNN started a daily newscast calledNewsWatch 10. It was at that time that Calvin Means and three reporters joined the WDNN team. The station grew from being on one cable system to four systems that cover Northwest Georgia. WDNN then added WLFW, WRNG, and WDGA to broadcast their programs over the air. WDGA-CD had been affiliated with the Spanish-languageAzteca América network until December 1, 2012, when it became an affiliate ofHeartland.
Following the FCCincentive auction of 2016–17, WDNN had to begin moving out of digital channel 49,[3] which it did in 2020. As part of the same process WDGA-CD was moved to channel 30.
In late 2018, WDNN and WDGA were purchased by Troy Hall for $500,000.[4]
WDNN-CD airs sports programming, such ashigh school soccer[5] and a show calledSports Zone which started in 2009,[6] alongside an annual Christmas special.[7]
