DWGA-TV (VHF Ch. 2) is a television station in Juban, Sorsogon, Philippines, airing programming from GMA Network. Owned and operated by the network's namesake corporate parent, the station maintains transmitter facilities atop Mount Bintacan in Barangay Maalo.

Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, DWGA-TV was considered a relay of DWAI-TV (channel 7) in Naga, Camarines Sur.

Prior to the station's startup by GMA, a channel 2 station, DWIB-TV, operated at Sorsogon from 1995 to 1999 as part of the government-owned Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC-13).
