In Reply To: A.K.A. PDK... this being said WGCL CBS 46 is horrible. Their newscasts are chocked full of editorial, production, and technical mistakes. However, the Report is correct, the name of the airport if Peachtree Dekalb Airport, or "PDK" As for the lack of Nat... now that is a huge problem for me, especially on a noise problem story. There is no excues for not having NAT in a package in 2005 !!!!
Message: Just for the record. And it's a common mistake. The name of the airport is DeKalb Peachtree Airport, even though its FAA designation is PDK. Go figure. http://www.pdkairport.org/ Kind of like when I heard one of WGCL's anchors refer to the West GA town of Buchanan as "bew-kan-nan" when it's pronounced "buck-kan-nan." A little thing, I know, but viewers do notice those little things and wonder.
