History
Trinity Music City, studio location for WPGD-TV.

Although it was granted a construction permit on September 17, 1987, the station didn't sign on the air until September 24, 1992 as Nashville's over-the-air outlet of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, which it has exclusively broadcast since sign-on.[1] Its original analog transmitter was located along TN 109 in unincorporated Sumner County between Portland and Gallatin.

At one point during the 1990s, WPGD also operated a low-power translator, W36AK, serving Nashville proper due to the main transmitter's location, until it was discontinued at an unknown date.[2][3]

TBN-owned full-power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on April 16, 2009.[4]

WPGD-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 50 on that date. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 51 to channel 33.[5] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 50.
