WTZT-CA

WTZT-CA, also known as ZTV11, is a Class A television station licensed to Athens, Alabama and affiliated with the America One television network. The station serves the Huntsville and Decatur television market in northern Alabama (mostly on cable systems), and currently is owned by Jamie Cooper, who also hosts a morning show on the station.
Cooper, who began his broadcasting career on the newscasts of Huntsville ABC affiliate WAAY-TV (doing human interest features called "The Country Rover"), began the show in the early 1990s on that station as "WAAY Too Early," which he co-hosted with then-weather anchor Gary Dobbs. Cooper later struck out on his own, first brokering the show, now titled "Cooper and Company," to Huntsville's WAFF-TV and later Florence's WOWL-TV (now WHDF). The current version on his station features his wife, Gloria, and a variety of music, comedy, sports reports, and cooking segments.
WTZT-CA carries a mix of programming consisting of sports, movies, children's shows, religious programs, classic TV series, home improvement programs, and a few variety programs. The station also airs Cooper's "Country Rover" reports from the 1980s, repackaged into half-hour episodes and sometimes aired back-to-back.
Before Cooper purchased the station, it was owned by Athens Broadcasting, itself owned by the Dunnavant family of Athens, until the family sold its radio assets to Cumulus Media. Athens Broadcasting's radio stations included WVNN and WZYP.
