WREG-TV (channel 3) is a television station in Memphis, Tennessee, United States, affiliated with CBS and owned by Nexstar Media Group.

WREC-TV's original studios were located inside the Peabody Hotel, a noted tourist attraction, in downtown Memphis.

However, in 1963, Wooten sold WREC-AM-FM-TV to Cowles Communications, earning a handsome return on his original investment of 40 years earlier.

[3] Four years later, the Times Company built new studio facilities for WREG on one of the highest points on Chickasaw Bluff, overlooking the Mississippi River.

[citation needed] WREG preempts the Sunday edition of the CBS Weekend News in order to air an hour-long 5 p.m. newscast.

The station also currently produces Live at 9, a weekday morning program that maintains a talk show-style format and the public affairs program Informed Sources, which airs on Saturday evenings and sometimes Sunday nights and discusses current local issues.

The switch came with a refresh of the newsroom set and new graphics, however major technical glitches occurred during the week following the conversion.

WREG-TV, along with Little Rock's KTHV, previously served as the default CBS affiliates for the Jonesboro, Arkansas, area.

WREG-TV also previously served as the default CBS affiliate for the Jackson, Tennessee, media market, along with Nashville's WTVF.

[33] In spite of this, both WREG and WTVF remain on Jackson Energy Authority's E-Plus Broadband Cable system.
