WRGX-LD is the call sign for a low-powered station in Dothan, Alabama, an NBC affiliate, broadcasting on digital channel 23 and simulcast on virtual 4.4, a subcarrier of CBS affiliate WTVY/channel 4.

The station was started in 1990 originally as a translator for Trinity Broadcasting, first under the call W29BB on channel 29 and then W41BN, moving to channel 41 in 1992. After being donated to Minority Media and Telecommunications Council, the station was sold to New Moon Communications, renamed as WDON-LP. Gray Television, owners WTVY, bought the station which was moved to channel 23. It was made an NBC affiliate with the call WRGX, signifying its immediate coverage in the Wiregrass area of southeast Alabama. NBC had been furnished to Dothan via WSFA/channel 12 in Montgomery AL and WJHG/channel 7 in Panama City, Florida. WRGX has replaced them on cable systems. It vacated channel 41 (which is currently occupied on analog by W41BN) and broadcasts solely on channel 23. WRGX shares studio space with WTVY.

DirecTV carries WRGX in SD only. Dish Network has WRGX in both SD (ch. 23) and HD (ch. 8567).
