I knew about the channel change, not about
the call letter change. Since it's my practice
to give the current call letters and/or channel
(like WSIX Ch. 8/WKRN Ch. 2) I'll have to remember
that.
 
Interesting that Georgia Championship Wrestling and All South Wrestling aired back to back on 17 since that was after an office split with Ray Gunkel's widow, who dated Ted Turner, running All South. Also, both promotions taped back to back at Techwood Drive and All South would only last another year or so after this before closing up.
