WAGT-CD is the call sign for a low-powered station in Augusta, Georgia broadcasting digitally on channel 30.4, displayed on turners as 26. It is the city's NBC affiliate.

The station started in 1985 as low-powered independent W67BE. Ten years later it became WB affiliate WBEK-LP. It became a UPN station when the WB was moved to cable-only WBAU. In 2001, WBEK-LP moved to channel 16. Gray Television, owner of CBS affiliate WRDW/channel 12 (whose subcarrier took on UPN), bought WBEK in 2015 and recalled it WRDW-CD. In 2016, after a lot of legal haggling, Gray bought then NBC affiliate WAGT/channel 26 and recalled WRDW-CD as WAGT-CD. It was then announced that WAGT would have its license surrendered in the spectrum auction which was officially affected on May 31, 2017. WAGT went off the air, while WAGT-CD moved its broadcast signal to channel 30.4 and its virtual to 26, both of where full-power WAGT had been.
