WHSG-TV is a Georgia television station on analog TV channel 63, digital channel 44. The station is located in eastern metro Atlanta in northern Rockdale County — about halfway between Atlanta and Monroe, Georgia, its city of license. It is an owned and operated affiliate of the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

It had one broadcast translator, W55BM atop Sweat Mountain, northwest of Atlanta. That station is now an affiliate of JCTV.

This station chose in the first round of digital channel elections to keep its current DTV RF channel 44 permanently, since all channels 52 to 69 are being removed from the UHF TV bandplan in 2009.

This station's digital signal, like most other TBN-owned stations, carries five different TBN-run networks:

63.2	The Church Channel
63.3	JCTV
