WIRE-CD, virtual and UHF digital channel 33, is a low-powered, Class A television station licensed to Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Its analog broadcast range reached into the inner suburbs. Previously an MTV2 affiliate, programming since digital conversion now consists entirely of infomercials. As WIRE-LP (before the upgrade to Class A), like most over-the-air MTV2 network affiliates, it was an affiliate of The Box until that network's acquisition by Viacom in 2001.

The station had applied for a digital companion on channel 29, however WANN-CA (channel 32) was granted the construction permit for that channel. In March 2009, WIRE's owners filed an informal objection against WANN's request for special temporary authority, stating it had until the following month to file a petition to deny. The objection was dropped when the two stations began to work together, and late in the month WANN filed an application to modify its permit from atop the Bank of America Plaza in downtown Atlanta (where it shares an antenna with WANN's analog signal, and co-owned WTBS-LP (channel 26) and its permit for its digital
