WGAL is a local station based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania that broadcasts on analog channel 8. Their digital signal is on channel 58 with a subcarrier, 58.2, that carries NBC Weather Plus. The call letters stand for Wonderful Gardens at Lancaster. WGAL was founded on March 18, 1949 on channel 4. In 1952, after increasing their power, they moved to channel 8 to avoid interference with Washington, DC based WRC-TV. In addition to being an NBC affiliate, the station had carried some CBS, ABC and DuMont programming until 1963. They are well known for their news, and according to Nielsen Media Researched in 2006, they were the #1 station in the top 50 markets nationally for their 6AM and 6PM news.

WGAL's digital signal on 58.1 and subcarrier on 58.2 will move to channels 8.1 and 8.2 (where they are mapped on digital tuners) once the transition from analog takes place in 2009.
