  • WAGA televises MADtv............. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

  • @professorintellect

    they don't support the home teams in Atlanta, too many transplants

  • @jwgreek8606 The same thing goes to KTVI 2 in St. Louis and WDAF 4 in Kansas City.

  • @deangelomywayentfan True. And and more than a year before that, KDFW in Dallas and KTBC in Austin both switched from CBS to Fox on July 1, Canada Day 1995.

  • Couldn't they just say that this was about football and keeping the Falcons on channel 5? That's what it was really all about.

  • WAGA had pre-empted a number of CBS shows over the years, including the daytime game show block of Family Feud and Card Sharks in the late 80's as well as the Pat Sajak Show in 1989-90. Even given WAGA's long-standing relationship with CBS, I was not surprised when they switched to Fox.

  • That September, WAGA started piecemeal pre-emptions of CBS shows. "The Price Is Right" moved to channel 69/WVEU (it would move to channel 46 after that station became the new Atlanta CBS station) and WAGA started bumping the "this is CBS" tag at the end of shows.

  • So they're basically telling their viewers "sorry, you're too old for us!" Classy.

  • @applesauce2100 WBRC-TV Channel 6 switch from ABC to FOX on September 1996

  • @applesauce2100 Yep, happened when CBS took the AFC broadcasting rights from NBC. NBC was without the NFL longer, as they did not get it back until 2006 when Sunday Night Football moved there from ESPN.
