WMAZ-TV is the CBS affiliate for Macon, Georgia, broadcasting on digital channel 13. Its subcarriers are 13.2, which is the CW and 13.3 that runs the Justice Network.
WMAZ signed on in 1953 under ownership of Southeastern Broadcasting. It was the TV counterpart of WMAZ radio (940 AM, now under the call WMAC). The radio station was a CBS affiliate, so WMAZ-TV would have CBS as primary. It made a bid to operate on channel 7 in its early stages, but it was not successful. WMAZ carried Dumont, NBC and ABC as secondaries until Dumont went dark in 1956, WCWB (now WMGT/channel 41) signed as an NBC affiliate in 1968, and WGXA/channel 24 signed on as an ABC affiliate (now with FOX). During that time, regular programming from other networks came via cable, with ABC coming from channel 11 (WLWA, WAII, WQXI, WXIA, to 1980--became NBC afterwards) in Atlanta and WTVM/channel 9 in Columbus and NBC from WSB/channel 2 in Atlanta (to 1980--became ABC afterwards) and WTVM (as secondary in Columbus). Cable systems in Macon also carried CBS affiliates WAGA/channel 5 in Atlanta (now FOX) and WRBL/channel 3 in Columbus.
In October 2013, WMAZ took on the CW network on subcarrier channel 13.2. The CW was previously available only on cable as "The CW Middle Georgia."
WMAZ is currently owned by Tegna Media (owners of Atlanta stations WXIA and WATL).
