I haven't really kept up with the station but I knew the engineer who put it on the air in the 80s. At that time the owner was trying to get ABC but ended up as an indie. After a while it became a satellite of WSPA (CBS)I believe. It may be that the market has grown enough so that it can now be profitable as a real TV station. Its a U (32) and in hilly terrain and in a small market that is adjacent to the Atlanta market. It could be that with all the problems at the CBS affiliate in Atlanta the owners are trying to cash in. The suburban Atlanta market has become more affluent due to white flight etc. I'd check it out. Good Luck! |

I graduated from the University of GA's Broadcasting school -- and my college cable station was in direct competition each night with the ATL stations, and Ch. 32 in Tacoa. That station might possibly be the worst thing I've ever seen hit the airwaves. It's DMA is decieving. I wouldn't even go there for my first job out of school. Not the place you can learn and grow if you want to be on air. No real competition, NO NEWS! I don't know what you're after, but I'd say don't waste your time... get to a station where you can take something you've learned with you when you move on... unfortunately, that won't happen in tacoa.
