WLGA signed on-air as WSWS-TV as the first independent network of Columbus on 16 May 1982. At that start, it telecasted religious shows, low-budget films, cartoons, business transmission, and other public interest broadcasting. The station’s first owner was Warden Broadcasting; later they sold it in 1984 to Christian Television Network. Initially, they also presented the stuff taken from Financial News Network which they dropped in 1987. Under CTN (Christian Television Network), it carried religious programming, however, after the change of ownership it still used to produce most of its religious content.
In 1995, WSWS was sold to RCH and associated its newly bought assets with United Paramount Network (UPN). The station also broadcasted The WB programming (currently Ion Television) as a secondary affiliate service. In 1996, the ownership rights were transferred to Pappas Telecasting, and they made a complete lineup in the programming slots. Watch WLGA Channel 66 Opelika Online Streaming here.
