WALB |
In early 1943, after Margolin had left the TVA and following a Federal Communications Commission investigation into Congressman Eugene Cox (D-GA) for accepting a bribe from radio station WALB, the United States House of Representatives created a special investigative committee, chaired by Cox, to look into the FCC.
The addition of CBS to WLOX-DT2 is be similar to a launch made by sister station WALB in Albany, Georgia.
Further complicating matters, WSB-TV in Atlanta—then an NBC affiliate—put at least a grade B signal into much of the northern portion of the market, while WALB-TV in Albany and WSAV-TV in Savannah, both on VHF, could be seen in some parts of, respectively, the southwestern and southeastern portions.
