After 17 years as a CW affiliate, WUPA channel 69 (yes, but 69.1) has shown the net the door as of 9/1. WUPA, owned by the CBS News and Stations group, has become an independent station with the name "Atlanta 69."
The CW has gone to WPCH-TV channel 17. That station way back when was a flailing station WJRJ-TV in 1967. Two years later, an Atlanta-based group owned by entrepreneur Robert E. "Ted" Turner III bought the station changed the call letters to WTCG. In 1976, the Superstation was born. It's an independent station distributed to cable providers throughout their respective regions, or the entire country—when its signal was beamed via Satcom 1 to four cable television providers in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States.
In 1979, WTCG would become...WTBS, which set things up for CNN to be found.
In 2007, WTBS became the current WPCH-TV PeaCHtree TV.
As of 9/1, I guess CW17?!
