WHGS

WHGS is a dual Classix/Couch Potato Television affiliate licensed to Hagerstown, Maryland, and also serving the Washington D.C. area. The station signed on in 2007 as an Ion station and became a Decades O&O in 2012. The station is currently owned by The Pierre Péladeau Company.
== As an Ion/Decades affiliate ==
The station signed on the air on Monday, September 17, 2007 as an Ion Television station. The station began a short-lived news operation, News 66 at 3, the only 3:00 pm newscast in D.C., in 2010. In 2015, Weigel Broadcasting purchased the station from Confection Broadcasting and changed it to an affiliate of their new network, Decades. The station helped in producing the first episode of the network's inaugural program, Through the Decades, which first aired at 7:00 am EST/5:00 am PST on May 25, 2015.
== As a Classix station (2017-present) ==
In 2017, Confection Broadcasting bought the station back from Weigel and converted it into a Classix affiliate; Classix was originally only available in the D.C. area via cable.
After Confection exited broadcasting, The Pierre Péladeau Company acquired the station, making it a sister to Washington DC-licensed WFAA (channel 2). Its website was merged with the larger station's website. The former classixdc.com URL now redirects to the WFAA website showing its schedule.
=== As a dual Classix/Couch Potato station (2019-2021) ===
After 2 years as a solo Classix station, it was announced that, instead of airing Classix's AM Presentation block, the channel would begin airing select programs from Couch Potato Television (such as One Life to Live and The Nanny) during the overnight hours. The station removed the overnight Couch Potato programming in June 2021 and added the network as a full-time subchannel.
WHGS now serves as a secondary Central affiliate, airing network programs when WFAA is covering breaking events or weather disturbances.
== Subchannels ==
WHGS presently operates five subchannels.
