Tbs Superstation

TBS Superstation is a popular American cable TV network that shows sports and variety programming. It is currently owned by Time Warner. TBS, which originally stood for Turner Broadcasting System, was originally WTCG, a UHF terrestrial television station owned by media mogul Ted Turner that broadcasted from Atlanta, Georgia during the late 1970s. WTCG, which reportedly stood for "watch this channel grow" (though the "TCG" officially stood for Turner Communications Group, the forerunner to Turner Broadcasting), was one of the first networks to broadcast via satellite as it was re-launched in 1979 as WTBS. The new call letters were purchased by equipment donation from the MIT student radio station, now WMBR. WTBS can still be seen free over-the-air in metro Atlanta on channel 17, or DTV channel 20.
