Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Tuesday, April 2, 1968

From TV Guide, Georgia (Atlanta) Edition. Two notes:
TV Guide does not indicate if the NET stations have
in-school programming so I'll start with the first listing
shown; second, the networks may delay or pre-empt
primetime programming for updates on the Wisconsin primary.
