WTCG, which reportedly stood for "watch this channel grow" (though the "TCG" officially stood for Turner Communications Group , the forerunner to Turner Broadcasting), was one of the first networks to broadcast via satellite as it was re-launched in 1979 as WTBS. The new call letters were purchased by equipment donation from the MIT student radio station, now WMBR. WTBS can still be seen free over-the-air in metro Atlanta on channel 17, or DTV channel 20.
