WKAG-CA (channel 43) was a low-power, Class A television station in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, United States.
In May 1984, the station's transmission tower was erected at a site along Old Madisonville Road on the north side of Hopkinsville.

The station also provided local coverage of worship services by the First, Second, and St. John's Baptist churches of Hopkinsville.

The station even won an award for a televised advertisement for a local feed store that same year.
In addition to its over-the-air signal coverage, the station was carried on local cable television systems in six counties in Kentucky (e.g. Christian, Caldwell, southern Hopkins, Muhlenberg, Todd, and Trigg).
During the station's life, NewWave Communications also owned the cable systems in Christian and Muhlenberg Counties.
