WPCG

**Not related to the real-life Christian radio station in Canton, Georgia.
WPCG is the TCN-affiliated station licensed to serve the Nashville, Tennessee area. It is owned by Confection Broadcasting.
== History ==
WPCG signed on the air on January 30, 1994, as a general entertainment independent station. It was popular in the area for its weekend movie marathons. Channel 22 was owned locally by the Poplar family of Nashville. The station also aired some programming preempted by NBC affiliate WNTE. 
In 1999, channel 22 became an affiliate of the new Chance Network, and rebranded as TCN TV 22. A half-hour 9 p.m. newscast, NewsCentral 22, debuted with current anchor Kate Matthews. The Poplars sold WPCG to Confection Broadcasting in 2000, but their son, Kenny Poplar, still works as the general manager of the station.
The station expanded its news department in 2007, with the launch of NewsCentral 22 This Morning, accompanying the new TCN News This Morning. General station branding changed to the simpler TCN 22 in 2009. 
Noon and 4 p.m. newscasts were introduced in 2015, when the station's newscasts started using the TCN 22 News branding. The station does not have a 5 p.m. newscast, instead airing 25 Words or Less in the slot. However, it has a 6 p.m. broadcast, leading out of TCN Tonight. 
Syndicated programming on WPCG includes Rachael Ray, MyDestination.TV, and Grey's Anatomy.
