WNEG

WNEG is the CBS affiliated station serving the Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville market in North and South Carolina, and provides at least secondary coverage to the extreme east-northeastern portions of the Atlanta, Georgia market, including Athens, Gainesville and Braselton. Broadcasting on channel 3, WNEG is owned by Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation. WNEG sits in the middle of two markets. To the north, they serve Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina, as well as Asheville, North Carolina. To the south, they serve the extreme east-northeast portions of the Atlanta market, including Athens, Gainesville, and Braselton, Georgia. The station's studios are located in Toccoa, Georgia, about 90 miles northeast of Atlanta. So even though a small person of the Atlanta viewing market can watch WNEG, the station serves the Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville market. WNEG also operates a subchannel: 3.2 (for Seven Network). Following the merger of Oakhurst Broadcasting, Higgins Broadcasting, and Island Television into Adelphia Communications and Adelphia absorbing the remaining stations, Adelphia decided to shift focus on the stations that are in the top 50 DMA market. The remaining stations spun off to their own ownership group named Young Broadcasting, taking it's name from the former company before they merged in Media General. On March 28, 2017, WNEG was sold to CBS itself, making WNEG a CBS owned-and-operated station and the second network O&O in the Greenville market, with Fox O&O WGSA. On April 22, 2017, WNEG was sold by CBS Television Stations to Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation.
