WLTZ-DT2 is the CW-affiliated commercial television station for the Chattahoochee Valley of West Central Georgia and East Central Alabama. The station is part of The CW Plus which is a special national CW feed broadcasting on cable television and/or over-the-air terrestrial television on a digital signal. It is a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WLTZ owned by SagamoreHill Broadcasting. Over-the-air, WLTZ-DT2 broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on UHF channel 35.2 (virtual channel 38.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter at its studios on NBC 38 Drive in the Vista Terrace section of South Columbus (official address says Buena Vista Road in Columbus). Known on-air as The CW Ga-Bama, it can also be seen on Knology channel 9, Mediacom channel 12, and Charter digital channel 109.
