The station signed on as WUBI on May 1, 1992, and aired an
analog signal on UHF channel 34. It was an
independent station at first but joined
The WB in 1995 and became known as "WB 34". The station switched to
UPN in early 1997 as "UPN 13" (using the station's
cable channel for branding) after
ABC affiliate
WJCL (channel 22) originally carried UPN as a secondary affiliation. From 1997 to 1998, The WB's programming was only seen on cable and satellite providers in the Baxley and Savannah areas via the
national feed of
Chicago-based
superstation WGN-TV. From 1998 onwards, WGN was displaced on those providers by a cable-only WB-affiliated station using the fictional call letters "WBVH" (known on-air as "WB 15") as a member of
The WB 100+ Station Group. During the analog era, WGSA's transmitter was located on the western fringe of the Savannah
market and was too far away to provide most of the area with a good signal. As a result, it was seen in Savannah itself on
Class A repeater WGSA-CA. That repeater was originally W34BO and was assigned in mid-November 1992 on channel 34 but the frequency proved problematic. It became WUBI-LP on channel 38 in late-April 1996 but there were still reception problems. It became WGSA-LP on channel 50 in mid-September 1998 with a further upgrade to Class A (-CA) status in August 2001. The WGSA-CA license was canceled by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on February 3, 2015, due to the station having been
silent since May 2, 2012. In January 2006, it was announced that The WB and UPN would end operations in September 2006 to form
The CW, a combination of the best programs from both networks. It was made public on April 23 that WGSA would affiliate with The CW. In response to this announcement,
Comcast removed "WBVH" from its channel lineup. Its successor,
The CW Plus, affiliated with WGCW-LP, a low power station co-owned with WGSA on channel 38 and available exclusively on Comcast channel 240 as part of their digital lineup. WGCW was also available over-the-air via WGSA's second digital subchannel until September 11, 2016. WGSA had a modified
construction permit for
digital television on channel 35 which made it high-power for the first time and put the station's transmitter site just west of Savannah. On September 28, 2007, the
Savannah Morning News reported after years of being the only local station Comcast rebroadcast from an over-the-air signal, WGSA had a fiber-optic cable placed into their
master control connecting directly to the cable company giving the station a much clearer signal. On February 29, 2016, it was announced that WGSA would lose its CW affiliation to the second digital subchannel of
WSAV-TV on September 12 of that year. Following a
Chapter 11 bankruptcy auction in September 2017, Lowcountry 34 Media, LLC (operated by Jeff and Janet Winemiller) agreed to buy the station from Southern TV Corporation for $1.2 million. Lowcountry 34 Media had reserved the call sign WSCG for assignment when it took control February 1, 2018. WSCG resumed broadcasting April 1, 2018, under new ownership. On May 21, 2019, it was announced that Lowcountry 34 Media would sell WSCG to
HC2 Holdings for $2.6 million. The sale received FCC approval on July 2, 2019; however, Winemiller Television filed a notice of non-consummation of the purchase on November 7. Subsequently, on January 28, 2020, Lowcountry 34 Media announced it would sell the station to
Marion, Illinois–based Tri-State Christian Television for $3 million. The sale was completed on April 1, making WSCG an
owned-and-operated station of the TCT Network and the first full-power
religious station in the Savannah market. In addition, Lowcountry 34 Media also announced that it would sell WSCG-LD and translator WGCB-LD to
Marquee Broadcasting. ==Newscast==
