==History==
WBGA signed on channel 20 in 1974 as WAJF-TV (which meaned Aaron J. Franklin, the founder and the owner of the station). The station was originally an ABC affiliate with a secondary CBS and NBC affiliate.
In 1984, WAJF became WBGA-TV (Bainbridge, GeorgiA) after the death of Aaron J. Franklin. The station was sold to Morgan-Kreffer Broadcasting. In 1985, the station dropped CBS and NBC programming. Also, all Morgan-Kreffer owned stations have been sold to General Broadcasting, except WTNJ-TV in Trenton, New Jersey, WDEW in Dover, Delaware, and WWMD in Hagerstown, Maryland, which were all sold to Mid-Atlantic Broadcasting, and except WSWC in Bridgeport, Connecticut and WNHA-TV in Concord, New Hampshire, which were both sold to New England Broadcasting. When WBBG signed on in 1987 as an independent station, WBGA became a FOX affiliated station. In 1988, WBGA became an NBC station again while WBBG became a Fox station. In 1989, WBGA returned to FOX while WBBG returned to NBC. In 1991, WBBG went off the air and WBGA became an NBC station for the 3rd time.
In 1993, the station was sold to Hardwood Broadcasting. In 2001, the station was sold to Link Broadcasting. In 2018, the station was acquired by Hill Television. At that time, it shut down its analog signal over UHF channel 20. It also changed its callsign to WSWG.
