Rather amazing that no one in Atlanta was clearing To Tell the Truth at this time, isn't it? I thought that it was available in virtually every major market in 74-75.
 
Channel 46 was carrying "To Tell The Truth" after Channel 11
dropped it in an overhaul of its access schedule. It didn't last
very long on 46; ironically, it returned to 11 Alive at 7:30 just
in time for the 1976-77 season (Garry Moore's last) and continued
through the Joe Garagiola period (1977-78).

"To Tell The Truth" had been paired with the Jack Narz "Concentration"
on 11 briefly in 1974; they ran back-to-back again from 1976 to early
'78, when "Joker's Wild" was put in at 7, followed by "Concentration"
("TTTT" moved to 10 AM). Then-g.m. Jeff Davidson may have gotten
the idea to pair "Concentration" and "TTTT" in '76 from his experience at
WLKY: he had put "Concentration" at 7 against "TTTT" on WAVE, and
"Concentration" had been the first show to beat "TTTT" head-to-head
(the fact that Jack Narz was from Louisville probably didn't hurt). In
Atlanta, Davidson was able to carry both shows, but his big access-time
success wouldn't come until the fall of '78: "Tic Tac Dough" at 7:30.

I take it WCWB did not carry The Midnight Special back at that time.
 
Ch. 41 didn't carry "The Midnight Special" or Tom
Snyder's "Tomorrow," although it did carry "Tomorrow
Coast-To-Coast" when that show moved to 12:30 AM
in the wake of Carson's cutting back to an hour in 1980.
