MBC America (Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation) is broadcast with local news and programming on 47.4. Around early April 2011, channel 47.5 broadcast Midwest Christian Television (MC-TV), a Korean-language Christian television network. Telemundo Atlanta (47.2) is 1080i HD and all remaining channels are in SDTV (480i). The Station Has Korean Subchannels.
The station was originally on Sweat Mountain, licensed to Roswell, Georgia on channel 67, and assigned W67CI from 1990 until changing in 2000. The change came as the FCC forced all LPTV stations to move out of channels 52 to 69, as all broadcasters are being forced to digital TV, and the upper channels over 51 sold off for other purposes. Programming prior to the change was mostly in Korean. It then became W38CU on channel 38 and switched to Telemundo, and had Atlanta as its new city of license.
