About Atlanta News First

Atlanta News First is Gray Media’s station in Atlanta. It rebranded as Atlanta News First and took the WANF call letters; see the History note below for its earlier identity.

Since August 2025 the station has been independent. That gave ANF more airtime for local news, and the stream now carries a long run of ANF News editions from early morning through the evening, plus programs such as On the Record, ANF Investigates and consumer segments like Better Call Harry.

Weather is a major focus, with the First Alert Weather team going live during storms and the station’s 3-Degree Guarantee forecast feature.

History

History note: Channel 46 was a CBS affiliate from 1994 until August 15, 2025, branded CBS46 with the call sign WGCL-TV. That is why many people still search for “CBS46 live”. CBS now airs in Atlanta on WUPA, channel 69, while channel 46 continues as independent Atlanta News First.

Watching ANF on a computer, phone or TV

Computer: the official button above opens the live player on atlantanewsfirst.com in a new tab. Any up-to-date browser should work.

Phone or tablet: The Atlanta News First apps carry live video during newscasts, weather coverage and breaking news.

Smart TV: ANF lists free streaming apps for connected TVs on its website, or tune to channel 46 with an antenna.

Tips for watching ANF online

The official player lives on the station’s own website, so it may ask you to allow video or pause an ad blocker before it starts. A short ad before the stream is normal for free local news.

The stream follows the station’s own schedule, so between newscasts you may see replays, weather updates or a holding slate instead of live news. Breaking stories normally interrupt that programming.

Most local news streams are free to watch anywhere in the U.S., but some segments, sports highlights or network-produced content can be blocked online or limited by location.
