I'd like to start this new topic, which I hope isn't too similar to the Old Cable Lineups forum. This focuses on the TV station rosters from either the local TV Guide or those from newspaper TV schedules.

When our family moved to Macon GA in 1965, our line-up in TV Guide was simple but not real accurate on what we received. The guide listed Atlanta, Athens,, Macon and Chattanooga, but we got Columbus GA insted of Chattanooga.
The line-up in the Macon newspaper accomodated Atlanta, Macon Athens and Columbus.

Here's the North Georgia TV Guide channels from 1965:
2 WSB (NBC) Atlanta
3 WRCB (NBC) Chattanooga
5 WAGA (CBS) Atlanta
8 WGTV (NET) Athens
9 WTVC (ABC) Chattanooga
11 WAII (ABC) Atlanta
12 WDEF (CBS) Chattanooga
13 WMAZ (CBS, NBC, ABC) Macon
Omitted was WETV/ch. 30 in Atlanta as their programming consisted of classroom instructional fare. WGTV did likewise but they aired prime time shows as where WETV did not.
The Macon News & Telegraph list was the same except instead of the Chattanooga channels they had Columbus stations WRBL/channel 3 (CBS) and WTVM/channel 9 (NBC, ABC).

Would it be okay for this thread's purposes if I scanned or took pictures of the lineup pages from the vintage Sunday newspaper TV sections I have and posted 'em here?

Sure thing, by all means!
Appreciate that-- will do!

It even lists all the French channels.
Indeed, being Canadian. BTW, there will be more to come-- glad you liked this!
Fort Worth Star-Telegram, TV Star, Fort Worth, TX; week of Sunday, Aug. 5, 1990 (back when KDFW Channel 4 was the CBS station of the Metroplex [Dallas-Fort Worth], and KTVT Channel 11 was an independent and superstation; KDFW is now the Fox O&O of that area, and KTVT is the CBS O&O there now)...

I would think you would have had the Florida-Georgia (South Georgia from 1973) edition. That one had Columbus
and, I believe, Macon. The South Georgia edition did have Macon and Columbus, as well as 2, 5, 11, 17 (and 46 after it became a CBS affiliate) from Atlanta.
