Wow-ee! Not counting the LP in Tallahassee, that's a total of 31 stations in this edition. That HAD to be the largest for any edition of TVG, prior to the 2005 dropping of local listings.

And the sheer number of markets to boot: Atlanta, Columbus, Savannah, Jacksonville-Brunswick, Dothan-Panama City, Albany-Tallahassee, and Macon, a total of seven. And to think that, in the past, editions like Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans only had one apiece. This was all, of course, due to the sparse population in southern Georgia and northern Florida, sandwiched as it all is between two heavier-populated regions, Atlanta to the north and Orlando-Cocoa Beach to the south.

I know one thing: we'll never see that again anywhere, not with the likes of Zap2It and on-cable sked channels these days.
 
Mike Stroud said:
Wow-ee! Not counting the LP in Tallahassee, that's a total of 31 stations in this edition.

Could have been 32, if not for TVG's policy against LPTVs and religious stations -- channel 17 in Tallahassee was W17AB, a LPTV that was established in the mid-1980s by WCTV as a way to bring local independent television to Tallahassee. But after WTLH signed on in 1989, W17AB sold its programming to the new station and its facilities to a religious broadcaster (don't know who).
 
dxtrfn said:
I think Another World aired at 2pm on the NBC stations. It is missing in the listings.

Probably just an oversight. "AW" did air at 2 on NBC and lasted until June 25, 1999.
None of the NBC affiliates in the South Georgia edition pre-empted it.

The point about the number of stations in this edition is also well-taken. It was intended
to serve the Columbus, Macon, Albany, and Tallahassee/Thomasville markets, but there is
(or was) a considerable amount of spillover from Atlanta, Savannah, Jacksonville, Dothan,
and Panama City. Given TV Guide's rule that a station was included in an edition if it covered
at least 15% of the edition's circulation area, that made for the large number of stations you
see. The only one that came close to matching South Georgia's large number of stations,
IIRC, was Montana. Georgia's a big state in size but its cities are pretty compact when you
consider distances between them.

from TV Guide-South Georgia edition
Due to the large number of channels, listings will be posted in 2 parts, with part 1 covering morning/afternoon and part 2 covering evening/late night listings

WDHN-18 in Dothan is ABC, not CBS.
 
Question: How could you post both of those...20 min apart? Only thing I do is type word for word out of the guide. Is there an easier way?

He must have copy-and-pasted from a Word document....unless our OP is an absolute whiz on the keyboard!

And yes as far as I know, this edition had to have the most channels listed. Quite a swath of coverage.

That's what I do too...the fact that there's a lot of common programming after 6 made typing pt 2 up a lot quicker ;D
 
That was the fun of these multi-city mega editions, you not only got to see what was in your
area but what was in other places as well.

Tell me about it, brother. Sometimes it made you jealous and upset with your local stations, though, if there was a preemption of a network show, or if your favorite old sitcom wasn't rerun in your market but was in an adjacent one. Tastes weren't always homogenous back in the day--and, of course, neither was station ownership and management. In some places, things flew, and in others, they didn't--if one wanted to consider television viewing habits a part of cultural anthropology, the South Georgia TVG would be mighty handy, as it allowed for a lot of comparisons.

Not today, of course, of those 30-some-odd channels listed now, they're probably concentrated into the hands of maybe six to seven owners. Satellite transmission (and now digital feeds) pretty much made skeds cookie-cutter from place to place, too--some of that was already happening around this time. And we think Bruce Springsteen was exaggerating when he sang 20 years ago about "57 Channels (And Nothin' On)" ...
 
And eventually,this edition of TVG added at least three more stations. WSWS-66 in Opelika (Columbus market) was added when it became a secular station. WGNX-46 from Atlanta was added when it took the CBS affiliation from WAGA-5, and Channel 58 from Macon was added when it took the ABC affiliation after Channel 24 went to Fox. I don't know if Channel 64 from Macon was ever included when it was a secular station, and I don't know if Channel 28 in Savannah (Fox) was ever included.

I don't believe ch 64 was listed, but I recall seing a ch 64 bullet in ads for one of the smaller nets (I think it was UPN, but not 100% sure on that).
