Former WAGA-TV reporter Ken MacLeod reads viewer comments in 1994 re: channel 5's switchover from CBS to Fox during the 10:00 PM newscast. One viewer was particularly unhappy because she could not listen to the CBS soaps on her TV radio, which only carried VHF stations. CBS moved to then-WGNX-TV 46.

DARK SHADOWS on Turner-owned WTCG Atlanta in 1977?

Yes! The channel that would become WTBS was one of the early stations to rerun the series.

Because it was an already a "superstation," WTCG likely gave #DarkShadows its largest audience since its 1966-71 ABC run. Another reason to love Ted Turner!

The late Guy Sharpe giving a radar update on #11Alive in 1985. Notice how light precipitation is yellow and the moderate precipitation is green, the opposite of what we see on today's weather radars.
