We're back in Atlanta this week as part of the Georgia Edition, back in the pre-Superstation days when WTCG stood for "Turner Communications Group." In 1972, Channel 17 has only been on the air for five years (the local story was that WTCG stood for "Watch This Channel Grow"), but I think you can already see the seeds of what it would become in its Superstation days (minus the Braves games, of course). Now, it goes under the call letters of WPCH, and is known as "Peachtree TV." All good things come to an end, I guess. Also, if you were wondering, that "Woodruff" that's one of the anchors on WAGA is, in fact, Judy Woodruff, who will go on to much bigger and better things in her broadcasting career. Check out the rest of the listings and see what other hidden facts you can find this week!
