Home > WTBS (TV)


WTBS is a TV station on channel 17 ( DTV channel 20) in metro Atlanta. Originally WTCG in the late 1970s, it was bought soon after by Ted Turner, who began his TBS television empire there. TBS Superstation is mostly a simulcast of flagship WTBS, except for TV commercials and certain special events.

WTCG, which reportedly stood for "watch this channel grow" (though the "TCG" officially stood for Turner Communications Group , the forerunner to Turner Broadcasting System), was one of the first TV 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 .
