With the assignment of WTBS as the broadcast station's callsign in 1979, the national feed became known as SuperStation WTBS, and later SuperStation TBS, TBS Superstation, or simply TBS.

That station—which its original parent originally filed to transmit UHF channel 46, before modifying it to assign channel 17 as its frequency in February 1966—was founded by Rice Broadcasting Inc. (owned by Atlanta entrepreneur Jack M. Rice, Jr., owner of locally based pay television firms Atlanta Telemeter Inc. and Home Theaters of Georgia Inc.). Rice built a massive new self-supporting transmission tower (later known as the <a href="/wiki/Turner_Broadcasting_tower" title="Turner Broadcasting tower">Turner Broadcasting tower</a>), which, at a height of 1,031 feet (314 m), was the tallest freestanding structure ever built in Atlanta and provided Channel 17 a stronger signal than other UHF stations, which was particularly beneficial as television sets of that era were often equipped with low-sensitivity tuners and substandard antennas.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> Under Rice, WJRJ—the first <a href="/wiki/Independent_station_(North_America)" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent station (North America)">independent station</a> to begin operation in the Atlanta market since WQXI-TV (channel 36, allocation now occupied by <a href="/wiki/MyNetworkTV" title="MyNetworkTV">MyNetworkTV</a> affiliate <a href="/wiki/WATL" title="WATL">WATL</a>) ceased operations on May 31, 1955—operated on a shoestring budget, general entertainment format with a schedule consisting of a few off-network <a href="/wiki/Rerun" title="Rerun">reruns</a> (such as <a href="/wiki/Father_Knows_Best" title="Father Knows Best">Father Knows Best</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Danny_Thomas_Show" title="The Danny Thomas Show">The Danny Thomas Show</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Ozzie_and_Harriet" title="The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet">The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Rifleman" title="The Rifleman">The Rifleman</a>) and older feature films as well as a 15-minute news program.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> In July 1969, Rice Broadcasting reached an agreement to merge with the Turner Communications Corporation—an Atlanta-based group owned by <a href="/wiki/Entrepreneur" class="mw-redirect" title="Entrepreneur">entrepreneur</a> <a href="/wiki/Ted_Turner" title="Ted Turner">Robert E.

Under the sale terms, Rice would acquire Turner in an exchange of stock and adopt the Turner Communications name; however, Turner would acquire about 75% of the merged company and own 48.2% of its stock, receiving 1.2 million shares of Rice stock worth an estimated $3 million. The <a href="/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission" title="Federal Communications Commission">Federal Communications Commission</a> (FCC) granted approval of the acquisition on December 10, 1969, giving Turner its first television property.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> Soon after Turner received approval of its purchase of WJRJ-TV in January 1970, Turner changed the station's call letters to WTCG (which officially stood for Turner Communications Group, although the station used "Watch This Channel Grow" as a promotional slogan). The sale was formally completed four months later on April 6, 1970, at which time Turner was assigned as licensee of WJRJ-TV.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> The channel 17 transmitter was originally located at 1018 West <a href="/wiki/Peachtree_Street" title="Peachtree Street">Peachtree Street</a> Northwest (it has since been relocated to the Atlanta suburb of <a href="/wiki/North_Druid_Hills,_Georgia" title="North Druid Hills, Georgia">North Druid Hills, Georgia</a>), with the antenna located on the <a href="/wiki/Turner_Broadcasting_tower" title="Turner Broadcasting tower">Turner Broadcasting tower</a>.

By 1980, the station moved to new studio facilities a few blocks west at the former site of the Progressive Club, along with overflow offices on Williams Street, across Interstate 75/85, those facilities now house <a href="/wiki/Adult_Swim" title="Adult Swim">Adult Swim</a> and <a href="/wiki/Williams_Street" title="Williams Street">Williams Street</a> Productions. (It shared the ex-Progressive Club studios with CNN and Headline News until the latter two moved their operations into the <a href="/wiki/CNN_Center" title="CNN Center">CNN Center</a> downtown in 1987). Early programming included movies from the 1930s and 1940s, sitcoms (such as <a href="/wiki/Father_Knows_Best" title="Father Knows Best">Father Knows Best</a>, <a href="/wiki/Green_Acres" title="Green Acres">Green Acres</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hazel_(TV_series)" title="Hazel (TV series)">Hazel</a>, <a href="/wiki/I_Love_Lucy" title="I Love Lucy">I Love Lucy</a>, and <a href="/wiki/The_Lucy_Show" title="The Lucy Show">The Lucy Show</a>), and <a href="/wiki/Anime" title="Anime">Japanese animated series</a> (such as <a href="/wiki/Astro_Boy" title="Astro Boy">Astro Boy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kimba_the_White_Lion" title="Kimba the White Lion">Kimba the White Lion</a>, <a href="/wiki/Marine_Boy" title="Marine Boy">Marine Boy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ambassador_Magma" title="Ambassador Magma">The Space Giants</a>, <a href="/wiki/Speed_Racer" title="Speed Racer">Speed Racer</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Ultraman" title="Ultraman">Ultraman</a>).

WTCG also made very low bids to acquire the rights to syndicated programming and film packages, leaving the <a href="/wiki/Network_affiliate" title="Network affiliate">network-affiliated</a> stations in the market—WAGA-TV, <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> affiliate <a href="/wiki/WSB-TV" title="WSB-TV">WSB-TV</a> (channel 2, now an <a href="/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company" title="American Broadcasting Company">ABC</a> affiliate) and ABC affiliate <a href="/wiki/WXIA-TV" title="WXIA-TV">WXIA-TV</a> (channel 11, now an NBC affiliate)—to acquire the stronger shows. But, because of programming commitments that the affiliates had to their networks, those stations only kept the shows for a few years at a time and rarely renewed their contractual rights to continue airing them, after which WTCG bought the syndicated programs second-hand at much lower rates.

Cable providers in these areas carried network-affiliated commercial and non-commercial television stations from neighboring markets—usually to serve as default outlets where one or more networks were not available locally—and if possible, an independent station (often located anywhere between 60 and 200 miles [97 and 322 km] away). Still, many places were far enough out of the reach of an independent station's signal that this was not an option. There were cable systems that carried three stations affiliated with each of the major commercial networks and three stations that were <a href="/wiki/PBS" title="PBS">PBS</a> <a href="/wiki/Network_affiliate#member_station" title="Network affiliate">member outlets</a> (one station from within the home market and two stations from neighboring markets of each network). WTCG started to reach far beyond the Atlanta television market in the early 1970s to serve such areas lacking an independent station, as many <a href="/wiki/Cable_television" title="Cable television">cable television</a> systems in middle and southern Georgia and surrounding areas of the <a href="/wiki/Southeastern_United_States" title="Southeastern United States">Southeastern United States</a>—particularly <a href="/wiki/Alabama" title="Alabama">Alabama</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tennessee" title="Tennessee">Tennessee</a> and <a href="/wiki/South_Carolina" title="South Carolina">South Carolina</a>—began picking up the UHF signal off-air and retransmitted the Atlanta <a href="/wiki/Studio/transmitter_link" class="mw-redirect" title="Studio/transmitter link">studio/transmitter link</a> feed to <a href="/wiki/Microwave_relay" class="mw-redirect" title="Microwave relay">microwave relay</a> towers (sometimes several times) back to their <a href="/wiki/Cable_television_headend" title="Cable television headend">headends</a>. (By June 1976, WTCG was carried by 95 cable systems in six Southeastern states, reaching an estimated 440,000 households).<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> Turner began formulating plans to take WTCG national upon hearing of the groundbreaking innovation by <a href="/wiki/Pay_television" title="Pay television">premium cable service</a> <a href="/wiki/HBO" title="HBO">Home Box Office (HBO)</a> (which would eventually become a sister property to channel 17 as a result of Time Warner's 1996 acquisition of the <a href="/wiki/Turner_Broadcasting_System" title="Turner Broadcasting System">Turner Broadcasting System</a>) to retransmit its programming nationwide utilizing <a href="/wiki/Communications_satellite" title="Communications satellite">communications satellites</a> beginning with its September 30, 1975, telecast of the "<a href="/wiki/Thrilla_in_Manila" title="Thrilla in Manila">Thrilla in Manila</a>" boxing match.<a href="#cite_note-auto-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> In December 1975, Ted Turner unveiled plans to distribute his station over communications satellite, enabling WTCG to extend distribution of its programming to cable and <a href="/wiki/C_band_(IEEE)" title="C band (IEEE)">C-band satellite</a> subscribers throughout the United States, especially in markets lacking even a distant independent station.<a href="#cite_note-auto-15">[15]</a> With a more cost-effective and expeditious distribution method in place than would be capable through setting up microwave and coaxial telephone relay systems across the entire country, Turner got his idea off the ground by founding <a href="/wiki/Satellite_Syndicated_Systems" title="Satellite Syndicated Systems">Southern Satellite Systems</a> (SSS)—a common carrier uplink provider based in <a href="/wiki/Tulsa,_Oklahoma" title="Tulsa, Oklahoma">Tulsa, Oklahoma</a>—to serve as the station's satellite redistributor, and subsequently purchased an earth-to-satellite transmitting station to be set up outside of WTCG's Peachtree Street studios in Atlanta. In order to get around FCC rules in effect at the time that prohibited a common carrier from having involvement in program origination, Turner decided to sell SSS to former <a href="/wiki/Western_Union" title="Western Union">Western Union</a> vice president of marketing Edward L. Taylor for $1 and sold the transmitting station to <a href="/wiki/SES_Americom" title="SES Americom">RCA American Communications</a>. Upon the sale's consummation in March 1976, Turner reached an agreement with Taylor to have the firm uplink the WTCG signal to the <a href="/wiki/Satcom_(satellite)" title="Satcom (satellite)">Satcom 1</a> satellite.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-wapo-turner-18">[18]</a> Turner's plans to turn WTCG into a national cable service were made possible through various FCC deregulatory actions on signal importation during the 1970s, among them was a cable rules package passed in March 1972 that allowed cable systems in the 100 largest markets the right to carry imported signals (including the addition of two distant signals not already available in the market), restricted cable systems in smaller markets to carrying only three network stations and one independent station (except for undefinable markets that would not be limited in the number of carried imported signals), and instituted leapfrogging rules that required systems importing distant independent stations from the top-25 markets to choose from one or both of the two markets closest to the provider's <a href="/wiki/City_of_license" title="City of license">city of license</a> and any systems carrying the signal of a third independent being required to pick up a UHF or, if such a station is not available, VHF station located within a 200-mile (320 km) radius.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> Further changes to signal importation regulations occurred with the August 1975 passage of a policy allowing unlimited importation of distant signals either following a local "<a href="/wiki/Must_carry" class="mw-redirect" title="Must carry">must carry</a>" station's final daily <a href="/wiki/Sign-off" class="mw-redirect" title="Sign-off">sign-off</a> or at 1:00 a.m. (<a href="/wiki/Eastern_Time_Zone" title="Eastern Time Zone">Eastern</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Time_Zone" title="Pacific Time Zone">Pacific Time</a>) and 12:00 a.m. (in all other time zones), and the December 1975 repeal of the agency's 1972 "leapfrogging" rules (which restricted cable systems from selecting a distant signal from among stations in the top-25 media markets beyond those closest to the licensed system).<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> Furthermore, the Congressional passage of the <a href="/wiki/Copyright_Act_of_1976" title="Copyright Act of 1976">Copyright Act of 1976</a> on October 1 of that year provided <a href="/wiki/Compulsory_license" title="Compulsory license">compulsory licenses</a> to cable systems and "passive" satellite carriers, allowing them to retransmit any broadcast television station throughout the country, regardless of prior consent, without incurring copyright liability; this legislation also granted the <a href="/wiki/U.S._Copyright_Office" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Copyright Office">U.S. Copyright Office</a> the ability to charge cable systems <a href="/wiki/Royalty_payment" title="Royalty payment">royalty fees</a> to be compensated to the owners of a copyrighted program.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> The station would still be subjected to program duplication restrictions covered under the original 1972 incarnation of the <a href="/wiki/Syndication_exclusivity" title="Syndication exclusivity">Syndication Exclusivity Rules</a> (or "SyndEx"), which—prior to its repeal in July 1980—allowed television stations to claim local exclusivity over syndicated programs and required cable systems to either <a href="/wiki/Blackout_(broadcasting)" title="Blackout (broadcasting)">black out</a> or secure an agreement with the claimant station or a syndication distributor to continue carrying a claimed program through an out-of-market station.

At that moment, approximately 24,000 additional households began receiving the WTCG signal.<a href="#cite_note-b&c-wtcgnational-24">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-sentinel-excellentventure-25">[25]</a> The station's first national broadcast was the <a href="/wiki/1948_in_film" title="1948 in film">1948</a> <a href="/wiki/Dana_Andrews" title="Dana Andrews">Dana Andrews</a>–<a href="/wiki/Cesar_Romero" title="Cesar Romero">Cesar Romero</a> film <a href="/wiki/Deep_Waters_(1948_film)" title="Deep Waters (1948 film)">Deep Waters</a>, which had been in progress for 30 minutes on channel 17 in Atlanta. With this move, WTCG would become one of the first television stations, and only the second U.S. broadcaster—after HBO—to be transmitted via satellite, instead of the then-standard method of using microwave relay to distribute a programming feed. Turner's decision to turn his television station into a national programming service was an expensive gamble on his part, given that he spent about $6 million of the $14 million that the station made in annual gross revenue at the time on satellite transmission.<a href="#cite_note-sentinel-excellentventure-25">[25]</a> SSS initially charged prospective cable systems 10¢ per subscriber to transmit the WTCG signal as a 24-hour channel and 2¢ per subscriber to carry it as a part-time, overnight-only service (with the intent of acting as a timeshare feed on a cable channel otherwise occupied by a local or out-of-market broadcast station during their normal <a href="/wiki/Sign-off" class="mw-redirect" title="Sign-off">sign-off</a> period).<a href="#cite_note-b&c-wtcgnational-24">[24]</a> Instantly, WTCG went from being a small independent television station that regularly placed near the bottom of the ratings among Atlanta's television stations well into the 1970s and was available only in Georgia and neighboring states to a major coast-to-coast operation, pioneering the distribution of broadcast television stations via satellite transmission to pay television subscribers nationwide. Ted Turner's innovation set a precedent for today's basic cable television and signaled the start of the revolution of basic cable programming in the United States. Soon after, an increasing number of cable television providers throughout the United States sought to carry WTCG on their systems. Within three years of WTCG achieving national status, the signals of fellow independent stations WOR-TV (now MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated station <a href="/wiki/WWOR-TV" title="WWOR-TV">WWOR-TV</a>) in <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> and <a href="/wiki/WGN-TV" title="WGN-TV">WGN-TV</a> in <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> were also uplinked to satellite for distribution as national superstations; eventually, other independents such as <a href="/wiki/KTVT" title="KTVT">KTVT</a> (now a CBS owned-and-operated station) in <a href="/wiki/Dallas" title="Dallas">Dallas</a>, <a href="/wiki/KTVU" title="KTVU">KTVU</a> (now a Fox owned-and-operated station) in <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco" title="San Francisco">San Francisco</a> and <a href="/wiki/KTLA" title="KTLA">KTLA</a> (now a <a href="/wiki/The_CW" title="The CW">CW</a> affiliate) in <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> were uplinked to satellite as well, primarily being carried on a regional basis. The expansion of WTCG into a superstation would serve as the linchpin for what would later be renamed the <a href="/wiki/Turner_Broadcasting_System" title="Turner Broadcasting System">Turner Broadcasting System</a> to eventually launch or acquire other cable-originated channels in subsequent years, including the <a href="/wiki/CNN" title="CNN">Cable News Network (CNN)</a> (launched on June 1, 1980), <a href="/wiki/HLN_(TV_network)" title="HLN (TV network)">HLN</a> (launched as CNN2 on January 1, 1982, and later known as CNN Headline News from 1983 to 2007), <a href="/wiki/TNT_(American_TV_network)" title="TNT (American TV network)">Turner Network Television (TNT)</a> (launched on October 3, 1988), <a href="/wiki/Cartoon_Network" title="Cartoon Network">Cartoon Network</a> (launched on October 1, 1992), <a href="/wiki/Turner_Classic_Movies" title="Turner Classic Movies">Turner Classic Movies</a> (TCM) (launched on April 14, 1994), and <a href="/wiki/TruTV" title="TruTV">TruTV</a> (folded into Turner, as <a href="/wiki/Court_TV#History" title="Court TV">Court TV</a>, following the closure of parent Time Warner's acquisition of <a href="/wiki/Liberty_Media" title="Liberty Media">Liberty Media</a>'s 50% interest in the channel in May 2006).<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a><a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> Turner and station management treated WTCG as an "active" superstation, directly asserting national promotional responsibilities, investing in programming, and charging advertising rates at the national and local levels. This resulted in the station paying for syndicated programming at (albeit reasonably cheaper) rates comparable to other national networks, rather than merely receiving <a href="/wiki/Royalty_payment" title="Royalty payment">royalty payments</a> from cable systems for programs to which it held the copyright as "passive" superstations—like WGN and WWOR, which opted to take a neutral position on their national distribution and left national promotional duties to the satellite carriers that retransmitted their signals—did. (Unlike WTCG, most other superstations had their signals redistributed without their owner's express permission under a provision in Section 111 of the Copyright Act of 1976, which allowed local cable systems to "retransmit copyrighted programming from any over-the-air stations across the country to their subscribers under a compulsory license"). WTCG initially was identified as "Channel 17" or "Super 17" both locally in Atlanta and on cable providers outside of that area; by 1979, the station identified primarily by its call letters locally and nationally. Over time, as WTCG was also beginning to gain traction in the Atlanta market, the station also began to gain traction nationally as more cable systems added the WTCG signal to their lineups; by 1978, WTCG was carried on cable providers in all 50 U.S. states, reaching over 2.3 million subscribers, a total that would substantially double each year into the next decade.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> Because it utilized a broadcast television station as the origination point for its programming, throughout its existence as a superstation, all programs on WTCG/WTBS—which transmitted exactly the same schedule nationally as that seen on the local Atlanta broadcast feed—were broadcast on an Eastern Time schedule (with programs shown at earlier or, for those viewing in the <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_Time_Zone" title="Atlantic Time Zone">Atlantic Time Zone</a> in far <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Canada" title="Eastern Canada">eastern Canada</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Maritimes" title="The Maritimes">the Maritimes</a>, later times depending on the location), resulting in programs being shown <a href="/wiki/Effects_of_time_on_North_American_broadcasting" class="mw-redirect" title="Effects of time on North American broadcasting">simultaneously in all six continental U.S. and all five Canadian time zones</a> as they did in the Atlanta area on channel 17.

(MIT subsequently changed the radio station's calls to <a href="/wiki/WMBR" title="WMBR">WMBR</a>.) On August 27, 1979, the Atlanta parent station changed its call letters to WTBS (for "Turner Broadcasting System", the name its parent company adopted in accordance with the callsign change).<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a><a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> Concurrently, Turner began branding the station as "SuperStation WTBS"—the prefix word was re-rendered in mixed case in October 1980, with both "S"s capitalized—with occasional references within the logo to the channel 17 frequency in Atlanta. (Accordingly, many cable providers throughout the country even carried it on channel 17 during some part of its existence as a superstation). However, the national feed continued to occasionally use the same on-air branding as the Atlanta area signal (which was referred to on-air at the time as "WTBS Channel 17") until October 1980. By 1981, the Atlanta station would be branded as "SuperStation 17", on the national feed available outside of the Atlanta area, though, references to the station's over-the-air channel number were completely removed—outside of minor technical issues where local ads and promos aired erroneously on the national feed. The on-air look of the station by this time was heavily reliant on then state-of-the-art <a href="/wiki/Quantel_Paintbox" title="Quantel Paintbox">Quantel Paintbox</a> graphics, with slick animation created by a team of in-house graphic designers, led by creative services director John Christopher Burns. He and others would develop this look further in the years that followed, eventually forming the design firm Television by Design to provide services to other television stations around the country (including WXIA-TV, rival independent WGNX [channel 46, now CBS affiliate <a href="/wiki/WANF" title="WANF">WANF</a>] and PBS member station WPBA [channel 30, now <a href="/wiki/WABE-TV" title="WABE-TV">WABE-TV</a>] within the Atlanta market). Burns would leave TVbD, but continued to be employed by Turner Broadcasting for other projects, including the 1989 revamp of <a href="/wiki/HLN_(TV_network)" title="HLN (TV network)">Headline News</a> and the 1991 redesign of WTBS itself (handled by Burns' brother James).<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a><a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> John Young, an Atlanta-area radio DJ at <a href="/wiki/WZGC" title="WZGC">WZGC</a>, became the voice of SuperStation WTBS during this time and would go on to provide promotional voiceover services for other local and national clients as a direct result of his work for the channel.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> Other voiceovers were handled by Turner employees, most notably music director Bill "Troll" Tullis, who generally voiced station IDs and other miscellaneous work with a distinctive monotone; he would become the voice heard during Headline News' half-hourly network IDs by the mid-1980s. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, WTBS continued to acquire second-hand programming such as made-for-TV <a href="/wiki/Popeye" title="Popeye">Popeye</a> cartoons, <a href="/wiki/The_Brady_Bunch" title="The Brady Bunch">The Brady Bunch</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Munsters" title="The Munsters">The Munsters</a>, and other programs.

Other older shows would eventually be removed from the schedule. WTCG also mixed more movie releases from the 1950s through the 1970s into its schedule.

On May 18, 1988, the FCC reinstated syndication exclusivity restrictions through the passage of a new version of the Syndication Exclusivity Rights Rule. This version granted cable systems and satellite carrier firms the ability to secure an agreement to air a claimed syndicated program with the claimant local rightsholder or a syndication distributor, effectively allowing for superstations to acquire national cable rights for syndicated programs (either directly or through their satellite carrier).<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a><a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a><a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a><a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> In preparation for the new rules taking effect on January 1, 1990, Turner Broadcasting began to fill the WTBS schedule with additional programming—primarily, off-network syndicated comedy and drama series (such as <a href="/wiki/The_Jeffersons" title="The Jeffersons">The Jeffersons</a> and <a href="/wiki/Good_Times" title="Good Times">Good Times</a>) as well as acquired film packages (consisting of both theatrical features and made-for-television films) and original programs (such as <a href="/wiki/Jacques_Cousteau" title="Jacques Cousteau">Jacques Cousteau</a> specials, and <a href="/wiki/National_Audubon_Society" class="mw-redirect" title="National Audubon Society">National Audubon Society</a> and <a href="/wiki/National_Geographic" title="National Geographic">National Geographic</a> programs)—for which it would hold exclusive cable rights in order to make the national feed "100% blackout-free." Combined with the utilization of indemnification provisions designed to protect against monetary damages if a superstation has "a reasonable basis for concluding that[...] programing deletion is not required," this ensured that the TBS national feed would be absolved from potential blackouts necessitated by any local syndication exclusivity claims and, therefore, prevent defections by cable affiliates that indicated it would remove any distant signals rather than shoulder the expense of blacking out or substituting non-compliant programs.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> On September 28, 1989, the channel's name was changed to TBS SuperStation to reflect the strong national standing of the channel.

Title sequences for movies and special presentations—which were accompanied by music incorporating variants of the "TBYes" promotional theme's <a href="/wiki/Signature#Other_uses" title="Signature">signature</a>—showed people in a <a href="/wiki/Main_street" class="mw-redirect" title="Main street">main street</a> setting flocking to a TBS-branded theater, which transitions to a panning shot stopping at a couch in the front row of the theater's seating area where either a family or a couple (depending on the daypart presentation, as identified at the end of the sequence) sit down in time for the start of the film. On September 10, 1990, the word "Superstation" was removed from the cable channel's on-air branding and promotions, rebranding it as simply "TBS", which had been used verbally in on-air promotions since the beginning of that year.

At other times, mainly during the daytime hours each weekday and on weekend mornings, WTBS continued to run mostly classic sitcoms and vintage cartoons.

(Time Warner and predecessor Warner Communications had owned an 18% interest in Turner Broadcasting since 1987, as part of a cable television industry-backed bailout of the company amid severe financial issues.) Under the terms, Turner would acquire an approximate 10% interest in Time Warner as well as oversee its cable network group—comprising the Turner and Home Box Office units and its minority interests in <a href="/wiki/Comedy_Central" title="Comedy Central">Comedy Central</a> and <a href="/wiki/E!" title="E!">E!</a>—and hold a position on the company's <a href="/wiki/Board_of_directors" title="Board of directors">board of directors</a> (which he retained until he stepped down from the company in February 2006) upon the merger's closure.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a><a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a><a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a><a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a><a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a><a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a><a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a><a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> The merger received regulatory approval on September 12, 1996; the Turner–Time Warner deal was finalized one month later on October 10, forming what at the time was the largest media company in the world.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a><a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a><a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> In September 1996, TBS replaced religious programs and infomercials that had aired on Sunday mornings and late nights with animated series and feature films, respectively, in those time slots. On December 17, 1996, when TBS celebrated its 20th <a href="/wiki/Anniversary" title="Anniversary">anniversary</a> as a national service, the channel reincorporated the "Superstation" moniker into its name, rebranding as "TBS Superstation" (this time with the second "s" rendered in lower case). (Promotions for the channel's programming beginning at this time until 2004 often verbally referred to the national feed only as "the Superstation", a moniker that had previously been used in certain on-air promotions on an alternating basis or in conjunction with the WTBS/TBS name from its national launch as a superstation in December 1976 until December 1989). During this time, the network's look included a spiral/swirl shape (frequently positioned behind the TBS logo, presumably to depict the superstation's broadcast signal radiating outwards), as well as "Super"-branded blocks (such as Super Prime for prime time movie presentations, "Super TV" for weekday daytime films and series, and Super Weekend for film telecasts on Saturdays and Sundays). On December 17, 1997, Time Warner purchased Southern Satellite Systems from <a href="/wiki/Liberty_Media" title="Liberty Media">Liberty Media</a> for $213 million in cash, as part of a purchase option that Time Warner chose to exercise on September 16. Time Warner held out on an option to acquire SSS through a common stock buyout and instead chose a cash payment citing the "strong overall financial performance of its businesses and its belief that its stock remains undervalued" in spite of price appreciation having been appreciated. The purchase gave Time Warner control over uplink responsibilities for TBS.<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> On January 1, 1998, the TBS national feed—although continuing to operate as a superstation by technicality—began operating under the conventions of a basic cable channel. At that time, the Turner Broadcasting System began to collect subscriber fees (averaging 26¢ per subscriber per month) directly from cable and satellite providers that had previously paid a 30¢-per-month licensing fee to Southern Satellite Systems for access to the TBS signal and a 10¢-per-month copyright fee to a federal copyright tribunal (which, in turn, paid the fee directly to program distributors) for rights to carry its programming. The additional revenue was intended to be used for programming acquisitions, particularly rights to first-run theatrical films. In exchange, TBS began to lease two minutes of advertising time per hour to multichannel subscription television providers to allow them to <a href="/wiki/Local_insertion" title="Local insertion">locally insert</a> <a href="/wiki/Television_commercial" class="mw-redirect" title="Television commercial">commercials</a> catering to viewers in the provider's service area; as a result, the channel began to broadcast fewer <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Braves" title="Atlanta Braves">Atlanta Braves</a> regular season games to a national audience, under amended contractual agreements between Turner and Major League Baseball in conjunction with the league's cable-originated rightsholders, ESPN and <a href="/wiki/Fox_Sports_Net" class="mw-redirect" title="Fox Sports Net">Fox Sports Net/Liberty Sports</a>, to allow TBS to continue carrying Braves telecasts nationwide.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a><a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a><a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a><a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a><a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> In 1998, TBS Superstation—which continued to run a mix of movies, sitcoms and drama series—removed all of its remaining cartoon shorts and animated series (which at the time were running under the Disaster Area banner), migrating those shows exclusively to <a href="/wiki/Cartoon_Network" title="Cartoon Network">Cartoon Network</a>. (Many of these series also later became the core of a new channel devoted to classic cartoons, <a href="/wiki/Boomerang_(TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="Boomerang (TV channel)">Boomerang</a>, which launched in April 2000.) In 1999, TBS Superstation also refocused its original program offerings, removing documentaries and <a href="/wiki/National_Geographic" title="National Geographic">National Geographic</a> specials—which were shifted over to CNN—in favor of carrying original made-for-TV movies and weekly series such as the reality show <a href="/wiki/Ripley%27s_Believe_It_or_Not!_(TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Ripley's Believe It or Not!

As part of this refocusing, the "Superstation" sub-brand was once again dropped in February 2004, with the channel reverting to being branded as simply TBS. Subsequently, on June 4, 2004, to signify the channel's new comedy programming focus, TBS introduced a new logo (designed by Publicis New York) that rendered the channel's name in lowercase and incorporated a semicircle made to resemble a mouth open as if it were laughing and adopted the slogan "veryfunny." The semicircle element took on a motif with half a baseball or basketball rendered within it for Turner Sports programming. From October 1, 2004 to May 30, 2008, TBS had a block called "Too Funny to Sleep" that aired from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., and aired <a href="/wiki/Mr._Show_with_Bob_and_David" title="Mr. Show with Bob and David">Mr. Show with Bob and David</a> along with reruns of some shows from <a href="/wiki/Adult_Swim" title="Adult Swim">Adult Swim</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Family_Guy" title="Family Guy">Family Guy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Futurama" title="Futurama">Futurama</a>, <a href="/wiki/Baby_Blues_(American_TV_series)" title="Baby Blues (American TV series)">Baby Blues</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Oblongs" title="The Oblongs">The Oblongs</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Mission_Hill_(TV_series)" title="Mission Hill (TV series)">Mission Hill</a>.

On May 14, 2015, at the Turner Upfront presentation, president Kevin Reilly announced a major shift within the next few years for TBS and TNT. The expanded development slate would see TBS feature more original live-action comedies, original animated series, more late-night talk shows, and lots more of "big unscripted ideas with attitude". One of the first success stories out of this effort was the satirical news series <a href="/wiki/Full_Frontal_with_Samantha_Bee" title="Full Frontal with Samantha Bee">Full Frontal with Samantha Bee</a>, hosted by the former correspondent for <a href="/wiki/Comedy_Central" title="Comedy Central">Comedy Central</a>'s <a href="/wiki/The_Daily_Show" title="The Daily Show">The Daily Show</a> (which served as a basis for Full Frontal's format).<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> A new logo, which was previously revealed on social media six weeks prior on September 16, made its official debut on the evening of October 31, 2015.

The move would effectively dissolve the Turner Broadcasting System umbrella as part of a wind-down of the Turner name from the reorganized parent company's corporate structure. AT&T did not specify any timetable for the changes to take effect, although WarnerMedia had begun to remove all Turner references in corporate communications and press releases, referring to that unit's networks as "divisions of WarnerMedia".<a href="#cite_note-cnbc-wmreorganize-109">[109]</a><a href="#cite_note-110">[110]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[111]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Warner_Bros._Discovery_era">Warner Bros.

It aired reruns of Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and new episodes of American Dad and season three of Final Space, which had already aired on Adult Swim. Two Adult Swim shows, Rick and Morty and Tuca and Bertie, was added to the block on June 28.

(Local newspapers varied as to how TBS programs scheduled using the concept were listed in their daily listings pages and weekly TV magazine supplements; some that used the aforementioned "log" format continued to lump the channel's shows with other programs that had top- and bottom-of-the-hour start times for some time after "Turner Time" was introduced.) The use of "Turner Time" also encouraged <a href="/wiki/Channel_surfing" title="Channel surfing">channel surfers</a> who could not find anything interesting to watch at the top of the hour to still be able to watch a program on TBS without missing the first few minutes. Most importantly, since shows ended five minutes later than normal, from a strategic standpoint the off-time scheduling usually encouraged viewers to continue watching TBS rather than turning to another channel to watch a program that would already be airing in progress. (By 1991, the three major American broadcast networks also adopted the :05/:35 scheduling in a much more limited form for their <a href="/wiki/Late_night_television" class="mw-redirect" title="Late night television">late night</a> programming schedules, mainly to allow their affiliates to sell additional ad inventory within their local <a href="/wiki/Late-night_news" class="mw-redirect" title="Late-night news">late newscast</a> slots; this practice continues to the present day.) TBS reduced its use of the "Turner Time" scheduling in 1997 and switched entirely to conventional start times at the top and bottom of the hour by 2000; by this point, log listings were being phased out in favor of a <a href="/wiki/Grid_(graphic_design)" title="Grid (graphic design)">grid-based layout</a>, eliminating one of the strategic advantages of the "Turner Time" concept (TV Guide would gradually minimize its use of the log format in its regional editions starting in 2003, and switched completely to grids when it converted to a national listings format in 2005). However, the channel continues to use unconventional start times for its movie presentations—which vary in their running times depending on the film's length with commercials added to pad the timeslot (for example, a movie that starts at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time and has an allotted airtime exceeding 125 minutes may cause subsequent programming to start within the half-hour, such as at :15 and :45 after the hour). This often causes major disruptions in the start times of programming, and in some circumstances, conventional "top-and-bottom" start times would not be restored until early the next morning. While this is not exactly related to the "Turner Time" format, it may strategically serve the same purposes due to the off-time scheduling. The "Turner Time" format is similar to the scheduling applied by most <a href="/wiki/Pay_television" title="Pay television">premium channels</a> and certain other movie-oriented services (which often schedule the start of programs in variable five-minute increments); other broadcast and subscription television channels have utilized similar off-time scheduling formats (such as <a href="/wiki/Telemundo" title="Telemundo">Telemundo</a>, which utilizes a "Turner Time"-style scheduling for programs during the first two hours of prime time, and <a href="/wiki/Paramount_Global" title="Paramount Global">Paramount Global</a>-owned channels such as <a href="/wiki/Nick_at_Nite" title="Nick at Nite">Nick at Nite</a>, <a href="/wiki/MTV" title="MTV">MTV</a> and <a href="/wiki/TV_Land" title="TV Land">TV Land</a>, which pad the runtimes of some programs by including longer commercial breaks to generate extra advertising revenue). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="News_programming">News programming</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=TBS_(American_TV_channel)&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: News programming">edit</a>]</div> One type of programming that TBS does not produce presently is news. Nevertheless, TBS—during its existence as a superstation—produced a 20-minute-long satirical newscast, 17 Update Early in the Morning, from 1976 to 1979; hosted by <a href="/wiki/Bill_Tush" title="Bill Tush">Bill Tush</a> and Tina Seldin, the program was taped at the end of the workday and aired between movies around 3:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Its format was similar to the <a href="/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live" title="Saturday Night Live">Saturday Night Live</a> news satire segment <a href="/wiki/Weekend_Update" title="Weekend Update">Weekend Update</a> and was, to a certain extent, a forerunner to The Daily Show. The timeslot and the satirical content of the program were a reaction to FCC rules in effect at the time that required stations to carry some news and information content—although TBS had to broadcast news, the Federal Communications Commission could not dictate when it aired or demand that it have a serious tone. 17 Update Early in the Morning was cancelled months before Ted Turner began his serious television news venture, CNN, amid a <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">Congressional</a> investigation concerning whether he was fulfilling FCC public service requirements. Standard, more serious news updates with the 17 Update anchors—at first simply known as WTCG (News) Update, and later under the title NewsWatch—also ran during the day in-between programs. Upon its launch in January 1982, CNN2 (later Headline News, now HLN) assumed production responsibilities for the TBS NewsWatch segments, which began to be presented by that network's anchors and were split into several topic-specific segments (under the titles BusinessWatch for financial news, SportsWatch for sports news and FashionWatch for news on current and emerging fashion trends). On July 21, 1980, CNN began producing an hour-long weeknight news program for WTBS, the TBS Evening News, which usually ran at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time (varying depending on the length of the movie or sports presentation that preceded it). Owing to WTBS's national superstation status, rather than focusing on local news as prime time newscasts that aired on other independent stations had been doing (including those distributed as regional or national superstations), the program—which was originally anchored weeknights by <a href="/wiki/David_Jensen" title="David Jensen">David Jensen</a><a href="#cite_note-TBS_1980-123">[123]</a> (who previously served as a host for <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radio_1" title="BBC Radio 1">BBC Radio 1</a>, where he would rejoin less than a year after the program launched), Kevin Christopher and meteorologist <a href="/wiki/Dallas_Raines" title="Dallas Raines">Dallas Raines</a>—focused on national and international news headlines as well as national weather forecasts and sports headlines. The TBS Evening News was discontinued after four years as a result of low ratings due to the frequent programming delays, with the program ending after the June 29, 1984, broadcast; the program was relaunched on CNN as the CNN Evening News on July 2, 1984. In addition, on July 31, 1980, WTBS also carried a 24-hour <a href="/wiki/Simulcast" title="Simulcast">simulcast</a> of CNN in place of its regular programming schedule; the simulcast was intended to help encourage subscriber demand to force cable and C-band satellite providers to begin carrying the news channel.<a href="#cite_note-124">[124]</a><a href="#cite_note-125">[125]</a> When the channel launched on January 1, 1982, WTBS also carried simulcasts of CNN's sister channel CNN2. The channel's launch was simulcast nationwide on WTBS as well as CNN starting at 11:45 p.m. on December 31, 1981, as a preview for cable and C-band providers throughout the U.S. that had not yet reached agreements to carry CNN2. Thereafter, initially to encourage viewers to ask for the network full-time, the station also ran a half-hour simulcast of CNN2/Headline News each morning at 6:00 a.m. in the Atlanta market and at 5:30 a.m. ET in the rest of the country. Abbreviated editions of Headline News newscasts would also occasionally be run as filler between daytime movie presentations and before the start of live sports telecasts. The Headline News simulcasts as well as the TBS NewsWatch segments were eventually phased out locally and nationally in 1996 following the relaxation of the FCC's public affairs programming requirements. (As WPCH-TV, the Atlanta station ran an hour-long simulcast block of HLN's <a href="/wiki/Morning_Express_with_Robin_Meade" title="Morning Express with Robin Meade">Morning Express</a> daily at 6:00 a.m. until the 2017 sale to Meredith, when it was replaced by a simulcast of WGCL's morning newscast.) On September 11, 2001, TBS (along with sister channels TNT, Court TV, Headline News and the now-defunct <a href="/wiki/CNNfn" title="CNNfn">CNNfn</a> and <a href="/wiki/CNN/SI" title="CNN/SI">CNN/SI</a>) carried CNN's coverage of the <a href="/wiki/September_11_attacks" title="September 11 attacks">terrorist attacks</a> on the <a href="/wiki/World_Trade_Center_(1973%E2%80%932001)" title="World Trade Center (1973–2001)">World Trade Center</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Pentagon" title="The Pentagon">The Pentagon</a>.

In the present day, most of the films seen on TBS are of the comedy genre; however, some <a href="/wiki/Drama_film" class="mw-redirect" title="Drama film">drama</a> and <a href="/wiki/Action_film" title="Action film">action films</a> continue to air on the channel periodically; movies on the channel generally air during the overnight hours on a daily basis and during much of the day on weekends (except from between 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturdays and 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Sunday mornings—with the start time subject to variation—due to sitcom blocks that typically air in those timeslots); this is in stark contrast to its existence as a superstation, when movies also filled late morning, early afternoon and prime time slots on weekdays. TBS broadcasts movies from sister companies <a href="/wiki/Warner_Bros._Pictures" title="Warner Bros. Pictures">Warner Bros.

Between the late 1990s and the early 2010s, TBS had frequently aired its prime time movies interspersed with other content and commentary (for example, <a href="/wiki/Dinner_and_a_Movie" title="Dinner and a Movie">Dinner and a Movie</a> included cooking segments, while Movie and a Makeover featured fashion content); these wraparound segments later moved to weekend afternoon film presentations, before being dropped entirely by 2011. Since December 2004, TBS has broadcast a 24-hour marathon of <a href="/wiki/A_Christmas_Story" title="A Christmas Story">A Christmas Story</a> from Christmas Eve evening to Christmas Day evening; sister channel TNT has also run annual marathons of the 1983 film (airing concurrently with the TBS marathon event, but usually delayed by one hour) since 2014.

Turner acquired the local television rights to the Braves for WTCG in July 1972, effective with the team's <a href="/wiki/1973_Atlanta_Braves_season" title="1973 Atlanta Braves season">1973 season</a>, assuming the contract from then-NBC affiliate WSB-TV, which had carried the franchise's games since the Braves relocated from <a href="/wiki/Milwaukee" title="Milwaukee">Milwaukee</a> in <a href="/wiki/1966_Atlanta_Braves_season" title="1966 Atlanta Braves season">1966</a>. Turner's contractual agreement with the team reversed the standard of MLB franchises designating originating stations, arranging their own regional carrier networks and handling advertising sales for their game telecasts. It was also particularly striking given that WTCG had experienced major profit losses ever since Ted Turner assumed ownership of the station from Rice Broadcasting in 1970; WTCG had only then started to break even in revenue and was just beginning to become more competitive with the Atlanta market's other television stations in terms of viewership.<a href="#cite_note-127">[127]</a><a href="#cite_note-128">[128]</a> Channel 17's Braves telecasts began airing nationally at the start of the <a href="/wiki/1977_Atlanta_Braves_season" title="1977 Atlanta Braves season">1977 season</a>, after Turner and Southern Satellite Systems uplinked the station's signal via satellite. As WTCG reached a significant cable penetration rate throughout the Southern U.S. during <a href="/wiki/1978_Atlanta_Braves_season" title="1978 Atlanta Braves season">1978</a> and <a href="/wiki/1979_Atlanta_Braves_season" title="1979 Atlanta Braves season">1979</a>, Turner ceased syndicating the team's game broadcasts and relegated those telecasts to the WTCG/WTBS cable feed, making the Braves the first team that did not provide live game coverage to broadcast stations outside of those within the team's home market. Turner once famously tried to get <a href="/wiki/Andy_Messersmith" title="Andy Messersmith">Andy Messersmith</a> to use his #17 <a href="/wiki/Jersey_(sports)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jersey (sports)">jersey</a> to promote Superstation WTBS in its early years (the back of the jersey read, "CHANNEL 17"). The MLB organization immediately stopped Turner from proceeding with this plan due to league regulations barring team jerseys from incorporating advertising other than that of the jersey's manufacturer. WTBS's broadcasts of Braves games helped expand the team's fanbase well outside of the Southern United States and earned them national prominence as "America's Team", even as the franchise's performance ranged from amiable to poor for much of the late 1970s and the 1980s.

When WTBS became a national superstation in 1976, Georgia Championship Wrestling became the first <a href="/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance" title="National Wrestling Alliance">National Wrestling Alliance</a> (NWA) promotion to maintain a nationally televised broadcast, a move which made many of the NWA's regional promoters unhappy; however, Barnett allayed any issues citing that he was only using Georgia-based wrestlers. In July 1984, GCW and the promotion's television timeslot rights were acquired by the <a href="/wiki/Vince_McMahon" title="Vince McMahon">Vince McMahon</a>-owned World Wrestling Federation (WWF; now the <a href="/wiki/WWE" title="WWE">WWE</a>). The replacement show, WWF World Championship Wrestling (later retitled WWF Georgia Championship Wrestling in March 1985), mainly served as a recap of matches that had previously aired on the WWF's main programs, which angered Ted Turner, who hoped that the WWF would hold first-run matches originating from the WTBS studios. The WWF iteration of the show received much lower <a href="/wiki/Nielsen_ratings" class="mw-redirect" title="Nielsen ratings">viewership</a> than its predecessor; this led McMahon to sell the promotion's Saturday night time slot to <a href="/wiki/Jim_Crockett_Promotions" title="Jim Crockett Promotions">Jim Crockett Promotions</a> (owned by <a href="/wiki/Charlotte,_North_Carolina" title="Charlotte, North Carolina">Charlotte</a>-based wrestling promoter <a href="/wiki/Jim_Crockett,_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Jim Crockett, Jr.">Jim Crockett, Jr.</a>), who assumed production responsibilities for the wrestling program and utilized the same set. (Crockett's program relocated to a new arena soundstage at the CNN Center in 1988.) In 1985, Turner acquired the television rights to <a href="/wiki/Universal_Wrestling_Federation_(Bill_Watts)#Mid-South_Wrestling_(1979–1986)" title="Universal Wrestling Federation (Bill Watts)">Mid-South Wrestling</a> (owned by <a href="/wiki/Shreveport,_Louisiana" title="Shreveport, Louisiana">Shreveport</a>-based promoter <a href="/wiki/Bill_Watts" title="Bill Watts">Bill Watts</a>) as a WWF alternative program. Although Mid-South quickly became the highest-rated program on WTBS, Watts lost out on acquiring the two-hour Saturday timeslot occupied by the WWF, when Barnett helped broker a deal that allowed Crockett to buy the slot from McMahon and become the superstation's exclusive wrestling promotion. Through the early 1990s, the wrestling programs and Braves baseball were among pay television's highest-rated offerings, due to heavy viewership in the Southeast. In November 1988, TBS became the television home of <a href="/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling" title="World Championship Wrestling">World Championship Wrestling</a> (WCW), which Turner acquired from Jim Crockett Promotions; from 1992 to 2000, it carried the weekly show, <a href="/wiki/WCW_Saturday_Night" title="WCW Saturday Night">WCW Saturday Night</a>, which served as the WCW's flagship program prior to the launch of <a href="/wiki/WCW_Monday_Nitro" title="WCW Monday Nitro">Monday Nitro</a> on sister channel TNT in 1995. Another WCW show, <a href="/wiki/WCW_Thunder" title="WCW Thunder">WCW Thunder</a>, debuted in 1998 on Thursday nights; the program was moved to Wednesdays in 2000, before it was cancelled in 2001 when TBS executive <a href="/wiki/Jamie_Kellner" title="Jamie Kellner">Jamie Kellner</a> determined that wrestling did not fit the demographics of either TBS or TNT and would not be favorable enough to get the "right" advertisers to buy airtime—even though Thunder was the highest-rated show on the channel at the time.<a href="#cite_note-142">[142]</a><a href="#cite_note-143">[143]</a> In the book NITRO: The Incredible Rise and Inevitable Collapse of Ted Turner's WCW by Guy Evans, it is said that a key condition in WCW's purchase deal with Fusient Media Ventures was that Fusient wanted control over time slots on TNT and TBS networks, regardless of whether these slots would show WCW programming or not.

The national TBS feed became available to pay-television subscribers within channel 17's <a href="/wiki/Broadcast_range" title="Broadcast range">viewing area</a> as a result. In April 1985, the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Radio-television_and_Telecommunications_Commission" title="Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission">Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission</a> (CRTC) <a href="/wiki/List_of_foreign_television_channels_available_in_Canada#American_Superstations_eligible_for_national_distribution" title="List of foreign television channels available in Canada">granted authorization</a> for the WTBS Atlanta feed and three other American superstations (WGN-TV, WOR-TV, and <a href="/wiki/WPIX" title="WPIX">WPIX</a> in New York City) to be distributed to multichannel television providers within Canada. Under CRTC linkage rules first implemented in 1983 that include requirements for providers to offer U.S.-based program services in <a href="/wiki/A_la_carte_cable_television" class="mw-redirect" title="A la carte cable television">discretionary tiers</a> tied to Canadian services, TBS and other authorized U.S. superstations typically have been received mainly through a subscription to a domestic premium service—such as First Choice (later The Movie Network and now <a href="/wiki/Crave_(TV_network)" title="Crave (TV network)">Crave</a>), Moviepix (later The Movie Network Encore and now <a href="/wiki/Starz_(Canada)" class="mw-redirect" title="Starz (Canada)">Starz</a>), <a href="/wiki/Super_Channel_(Canadian_TV_channel)" title="Super Channel (Canadian TV channel)">Super Channel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Super_%C3%89cran" title="Super Écran">Super Écran</a>, <a href="/wiki/Movie_Central" title="Movie Central">Movie Central</a> (the original user of the Superchannel name, now defunct) and <a href="/wiki/Encore_Avenue" title="Encore Avenue">Encore Avenue</a> (also now defunct)—although, beginning in 1997, many cable and satellite providers moved TBS to a basic specialty tier under a related rule that allows for one superstation of the provider's choice to be carried on a non-premium tier.<a href="#cite_note-155">[155]</a><a href="#cite_note-156">[156]</a> Because the CRTC had only approved the Atlanta station's broadcast signal for distribution to cable, satellite, and other domestic subscription television providers, following the separation of TBS and WTBS/WPCH in October 2007, Canadian subscribers continued to receive the re-called WPCH-TV, instead of the national TBS channel. As they are not shown on WPCH, most of TBS's flagship programs—such as Major League Baseball (both regular season and postseason games) and original series (such as Conan)—are carried on other Canadian <a href="/wiki/Specialty_channel" title="Specialty channel">specialty channels</a>.<a href="#cite_note-157">[157]</a><a href="#cite_note-TBS_Canadian_curveball-78">[78]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=TBS_(American_TV_channel)&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: References">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://pressroom.warnermediagroup.com/us/media-release/warnermedia-organization-update">"WarnerMedia Organization Update"</a>.
