Like many stations at that time carried programs from all the networks. WFMY, WBTV and WSLS have the same primary affilations and call letters in 1953 and in 2005.
 
Not only do all three stations have the same
call letters and primary network affiliations
today as in 1953, they also have the same channel
number. Of all stations south of Washington, WBTV
has had the same call letters, primary network affiliation,
channel number, and ownership (Jefferson Standard Insurance,
now Jefferson-Pilot) longer than any other, since 1949.
(WAGA/5 Atlanta held the record until it switched from CBS to Fox
in 1994.)
