1. DirectTV (and all Atlanta cable companies) will air national TBS starting October 1st (I think Channel 76 on Comcast since Spike TV moved to 78 suddenly...but I'm not certain).
2. Peachtree TV will have no news initally. They would be smart ot partner with WSB-TV for a 10 PM news to comepete with WAGA and WXIA/WATL. They may continue to carry the 6 AM half-hour simulcast of Headline News.
3. Time Warner is doing this to prep Channel 17 for sale...period. Don't let their denials fool you.
4. When will Ted Turner make a public comment about all of this? I am dying to hear what he has to say about the death of his creation that mad him who he is today.
