In yet another call letter change involving a GPB station, WCLP became WNGH a couple of months ago.

That is because GPB bought a radio station in Dalton (WQMT 98.9) and flipped the calls to WNGH. They changed the calls of WDCO-TV when they changed the calls of WDCO-FM to WMUM to reflect the new partnership with Mercer University (Baptist-affiliated private institution, not part of the public University System of Georgia) in Macon.

As for WAGA in 1972...I still find it odd that they would delay one movie to show another locally. WGNX/WGCL did this in 1999 and 2000 a few times. They must have needed the additional ad money.
 
One reason, I think, was that CBS had a weak
10:30 show. Don Rickles had just failed in a sitcom
at that odd hour, and "The Governor And J.J.," in
reruns, filled the gap until September. Also, Channel
11 had the ABC parlay of "Room 222"/"Odd Couple"/
"Love, American Style," which were part of a very
strong Friday lineup for that network. So Channel 5
probably figured, let's make all the money we can off
a non-network movie from 9 to 11, delay the network
movie, and forget about "The Governor And J.J.," which
hadn't been a big hit when it was new.
