I have had superstation TBS since the fall of 1982.

2 interesting things about TBS...

1. get a copy of the 1980 film "Little Darlings" with Kristy McNichol
and Tatum O'Neal and a young Matt Dillon.

Keep your eye on the scene of McNichol and her mother pulling into the parking lot to drop the kid off at the camp bus.

if you don't blink, in the background you can see a billboard advertising WTBS-TV 17. In fact I believe it was still using the calls of WTCG ( Atlanta's channel 17 calls before TBS ).

Since they went "superstation" in 1976 and this film came out in 1980 ( I assume it was filmed in 1979 ), I wonder what was on "the superstation" at this time.

Also does anybody remember Bill Tush? He anchored the "local news' on WTBS, then called the "TBS Evening news". I seem to believe he also did some kind of "local" comedy show on TBS during the late 70s and early 80s.

Too bad reruns of "Real People" are shown anymore, if memory serves correctly they feaured Tush and Atlanta's WTBS-TV 17 in one of their stories.

That would be very interesting viewing today.

Good job.

I've also made a log companion, a little more detailed. If it's too hard to read as a .txt document, I also have it in word. Let me know and I'll upload the word document.
