Atlanta-based Gray Television, which purchased CBS46 and Peachtree TV in December, is planning to create far more original local content for Peachtree TV.
A sign of that investment: Gray named marketing manager
Micheal Smith to be Peachtree TV’s station manager.
Under previous owner Meredith, a station manager oversaw both CBS46 and Peachtree TV.
“We are looking to make Peachtree TV a place where you find entertainment, lifestyle, and local sports programming that is produced by and for the people of Atlanta,” Smith said in a press release. “Our goal is to create local programming that has meaning and a positive impact on our community.”
Most of Peachtree TV’s current lineup consists of classic sitcoms like “Seinfeld,” “The King of Queens,” “black-ish” and “Modern Family,” syndicated news programs like “Inside Edition” and “People,” syndicated talk shows like “The Nick Cannon Show” and “The Rachael Ray Show” and judge shows such as “The Verdict With Judge Hatchett,” “Divorce Court” and “Justice With Judge Mablean.”
The network also provides some local content including Stephen “Steak” Shapiro’s “Daily Eats” at 9 a.m. weekdays and a local news telecast from its sister station CBS46 at 9 p.m.
