WABW-TV digital channel 6 (Ex-Analog Channel 14) part of the Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) public broadcasting network, serves Albany and southwestern Georgia, from its transmitter in Pelham. The station's signal travels in about a 50-mile (80-km) radius from the transmitter site, carrying it into the Tallahassee and central north Florida area also.
The broadcast tower is shared by W232AB 94.3 Camilla, which retransmits GPB Radio from WABR FM 91.1 Tifton, but is not owned by GPB.
Albany is served by two GPB TV channels, with WACS-TV in Dawson as the other, but WABW is Albany's GPB station of record.
WABW-TV signed on January 2, 1967 as part of the Georgia Educational Television Network. It was the seventh educational television station in Georgia.
