 Even after it agreed to buy WVEU, CBS still sought to move its programming to a higher-profile station.It continued to negotiate with Tribune Broadcasting to reach a deal to affiliate with longtime independent station WGNX (channel 46, now WGCL-TV), which initially turned down CBS' offer to affiliate with the station; WGNX was especially attractive for the network since channel 46 was the only non-Big Three station in the Atlanta market that had a functioning news department.That November, Tribune relented and signed a deal with CBS to convert WGNX into the network's new Atlanta affiliate.
