History
The station signed on February 14, 1982, as WTSG-TV, Southwestern Georgia's first independent station. It was founded by Black physician Carl Gordon Jr. The station's original studio facilities were located on North Slappey Boulevard/US 82 in Albany. It became a charter Fox affiliate on October 9, 1986. However, the station itself still operated as a de facto independent because the Fox network only had one program in its lineup until April 1987 and even then, would not expand to seven nights of programming per week until 1993.
