dbpprop:abstract
  • WTBS-LP is a low-power TV station on channel 26 in metro Atlanta. The city of license is Atlanta, and the transmitter and antenna are located in downtown Atlanta atop the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel, along with WTHC-LD 42, WNNX FM 100.5, and a backup for WZGC FM 92.9. Owned by Prism Broadcasting Network since 1991, it airs Spanish music video programming from MTV Tr3́s, also seen digitally on Prism's WANN-LD 29.1. It was originally W56CD in Rome, Georgia, then became W26BT, then WANX-LP in January 2000, and finally WTBS-LP on October 15, 2007. It is not related to former WANX-TV, now WGCL-TV 46, or the former WTBS, now WPCH-TV 17. WTBS-LP has a construction permit to increase its analog TV coverage somewhat, switching from a mostly omnidirectional antenna to a somewhat directional antenna, preventing it from covering any further to the west after the upgrade. Its effective radiated power (ERP) will be 150kW at the angle of beam tilt, or 103.5kW in the horizontal plane. It also had a one-watt CP for WTBS-LD, its digital TV companion on channel 30, which could not begin operating until the analog shutdown of WPBA TV 30 in June 2009. The permit was atop Bank of America Plaza, along with Prism's WANN-CA 32 and WANN-LD 29 digital (all four diplexed from the same antenna), as well as WDTA-LP 53 (which is leaving) and several amateur radio repeaters. This would only reach a small area of east Atlanta, barely over to Decatur however. In April 2009, it applied to go to 15kW and move to the North Druid Hills site along with WANN-LD's application from the prior month (which was in turn due to an objection filed by WIRE-CA's owners, who had applied for the same channel 29 at that site). This modification was approved, and the FCC map shows that at a HAAT of over 300 meters (1,000 ft), it will theoretically be able to reach all of metro Atlanta except for some far exurbs (although ATSC reception is problematic even at higher signal strengths).
