From The TV IV

TBS is the flagship television station of Turner Broadcasting, Time Warner's cable television subsidiary. TBS started in the 1970s on local Atlanta channel 17, with the call letters WTCG. Eventually the calls were changed to WTBS, and the station shortly afterwards became the nation's first superstation. Despite nationwide status, there were still plenty of local Atlanta spots for places like diners and used car lots.

For the longest time, TBS was in a state of identity crisis. In the 1990s, there were programs on TBS ranging from kids' shows, to comedy, to drama, to feature length movies, to sports, to even niche programming. Sometimes one genre would outweigh another heavily. As Cartoon Network began to thrive, kids' shows were slowly moved off the other Turner networks. This was also due to the increased regulations of the FCC's kidvid laws. When the new millennium came, sister network TNT flipped formats to all drama. The only logical move would be for TBS to flip to a comedy network. In 2005, TBS dropped its superstation name, and adopted the slogan "Very Funny." WTBS is still on locally in Atlanta, Georgia, and broadcasts in HDTV, using the 1080i resolution, on channel 19.
