WABW-TV channel 14 (digital 5), part of the GPB network, serves Albany and southwestern Georgia, from its transmitter in Pelham. The station's signal travels in about a 50-mile (80-km) radius from the transmitter site, carrying it into the Tallahassee and north central Florida area also.
Albany is served by two GPB channels, with WACS-TV in Dawson as the other, but WABW is Albany's GPB station of record.
[edit] History
WABW-TV signed on January 2, 1967 as part of the Georgia Educational Television Network. It was the seventh educational television station in Georgia.
WABW's digital signal has not signed on yet and is slated to operate on channel 5 and transmit from the WCTV tower near the Georgia-Florida border. This digital signal will target Valdosta, Thomasville, Bainbridge, and Tallahassee. Albany will be served by WACS in Dawson.
