WGFL (channel 28, cable channel 4) is a television station licensed to High Springs, Florida, United States, serving the Gainesville area as an affiliate of CBS, MyNetworkTV and NBC. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside low-power, Class A Antenna TV affiliate WYME-CD (channel 45); Sinclair also provides certain services to WNBW-DT (channel 9) under a local marketing agreement (LMA) with MPS Media. The three stations share studios on Northwest 80th Boulevard (along I-75/SR 93) in Gainesville and transmitter facilities on Southwest 30th Avenue near Newberry.
WGFL was also used to provide full-market over-the-air high definition digital coverage of co-owned low-power analog MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYG-LP (simulcast over WGFL-DT2). This ended when the low-power station's license was canceled on November 18, 2015; it now operates solely as a subchannel of WGFL.
The Gainesville market is located between several other Florida TV markets. In these areas, local cable systems opt instead for the affiliate for their home market instead of WGFL. This includes Charter Spectrum and Cox in Ocala (part of the Orlando market) that both offer WKMG-TV and WESH. In Lake City (part of the Jacksonville market), Comcast Xfinity provides WJAX-TV and WTLV.
