WPCH-TV, virtual channel 17 (UHF digital channel 20), is an independent television station located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The station is owned by Meredith Corporation as part of a duopoly with CBS affiliate WGCL-TV (channel 46). The two stations share studio facilities located on 14th Street in northwestern Atlanta; WPCH maintains transmitter facilities located in North Druid Hills. From 1970 to 2017, the station was owned by Turner Broadcasting System, which is now a subsidiary of Time Warner. Prior to the end of Turner's ownership, WPCH-TV was the only broadcast television station owned by Time Warner.
On December 17, 1976, the station, then known as WTCG, began to offer itself via satellite transmission; expanded the small independent station into a national superstation. The channel broadcast a variety of programming during this era, including films, syndicated series, Atlanta Braves baseball, and professional wrestling (including Georgia Championship Wrestling, and later World Championship Wrestling). It was carried on cable and satellite television providers throughout the United States and Canada. In 1979, the station changed its call letters to WTBS.
