WPGA-TV is the callsign of the Me-TV station in Macon, Georgia, broadcasting on digital channel 23 licensed to Perry, displayed on tuners as 58. Its subcarriers air Heroes & Icons, Ion, Start, Grit TV, Court TV, Decades and Movies! (channels listed below). It is owned by Marquee Broadcasting which also owns Me-TV station WGTA in the Atlanta DMA (Toccoa city of license).

WPGA first signed on in 1995 on analog channel 58 as Macon's original Fox affiliate (Fox had previously been available from WAGA from Atlanta). On New Year's Day, 1996, Fox moved to then-ABC affiliate WGXA/channel 24, with WPGA acquiring the ABC affiliation. ABC is also available via Cox Cable in Macon from Atlanta's WSB/channel 2.

On January 1, 2010, WPGA discontinued the ABC affiliation and became independent. ABC is now seen on the subcarrier of WGXA. Before the switch, Cox Cable of Macon first said it would drop WPGA from its cable roster (on channel 6) and replace it with the WGXA subcarrier so there would be no disruption of ABC service. A court issued an injunction in WPGA's favor against being dropped. As of January 1, 2011, WPGA was relocated on Cox Cable's channel 15.

WPGA had also a low-power station on analog channel 50 (which flash-cut to digital 50) that airs Me-TV as well as local simulcasts of radio morning shows. WPGA-LD/channel 50 is currently off the air. WPGA is being acquired by Gray Television, which has Marquee Broadcasting swapping it for Boise ID Fox affiliate KNIN. This would give Gray a presence in all six interior DMAs in Georgia.
