WTHC-LP
Encyclopedia : W : WT : WTH : WTHC-LP
WTHC-LP is a low-power television station located on channel 42.1 in Atlanta, Georgia. Due to multipath interference as an analog television station, it is now a digital-only station (one of the first low-powered digital television stations in the US), which also allows a much greater broadcast range on its 8-kilowatt signal. Since 1994, it is owned and operated by The Atlanta Channel, Inc., which also broadcasts the channel into many local hotels. Programming consists almost entirely of recorded information for tourists.
Originally applied for in early 1981, it went on the air as W63BB on channel 63 in mid-1987. It moved and became W42BQ on analog channel 42 in late 1992, making way for the new WHSG-TV on 63. It became The Atlanta Channel in 1994, and the current callsign was assigned by request in early 2000. The station uses an SDTV screen resolution of 480i.
