WACS-TV
Encyclopedia : W : WA : WAC : WACS-TV
WACS-TV channel 25, part of the GPB network, is Georgia's ninth public television station, and primarily serves the southern part of the Columbus market, including Dawson (WACS' transmitter is located in Parrott, Georgia) and Americus. The station's signal travels in about a 40-mile radius from the transmitter site and also reaches parts of southeastern Alabama.
It also serves Albany, Georgia, though that city's GPB station of record is Pelham's WABW, channel 14.
Viewers in Columbus are well within the WACS coverage area, even though their GPB station of record is WJSP-TV, whose fringes just barely reach Columbus itself.
WACS, WJSP and WABW are all satellites of Athens'/Atlanta's WGTV, the network's flagship station. They carry an identical broadcast schedule.
History
WACS-TV channel 25 signed on the air on March 13, 1967. Its digital signal will be on channel 8 with roughly the same covergage.External links
