WAGT-CD (channel 26) is a low-power, Class A television station in Augusta, Georgia, United States, affiliated with NBC. It is owned by Gray Media alongside low-power Telemundo affiliate WGAT-LD (channel 17) and dual CBS/MyNetworkTV affiliate WRDW-TV (channel 12). The three stations share studios at The Village at Riverwatch development in Augusta; WAGT-CD's transmitter is located in Beech Island, South Carolina.
