dbpedia-owl:abstract
  • WPCH-TV, virtual channel 17, is an independent television station in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. WPCH-TV is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System, a subsidiary of Time Warner, and is the only over-the-air broadcast television station owned by Time Warner (this is despite the fact the company is half-owner of The CW Television Network, whose Atlanta affiliate is WUPA, channel 69). Known by the on-air branding of Peachtree TV, WPCH-TV has its studios and transmitter located just northeast of Atlanta. This station was known as WTBS from August 27, 1979 until October 1, 2007, when its operations were split from the co-owned TBS. WTBS was the pioneering superstation, and its signal was carried to cable and satellite viewers throughout the United States and Canada. On January 18, 2011 Time Warner announced that it will transfer the operations of WPCH-TV to Meredith Corporation by way of a local marketing agreement. Meredith owns WGCL-TV (channel 46), Atlanta's CBS affiliate, and the deal would give Meredith a de facto television duopoly in Atlanta. Time Warner will continue to own WPCH-TV's license. This marketing agreement with Meredith apparently also ended Turner Broadcasting's yearly sponsorship of Piedmont Park's "Screen on the Green" beginning in 2011.
