DTV 23), part of the GPB network, servesColumbus, Georgia and the surrounding west-central Georgia and far east-centralAlabama region. Thetransmitter andradio antenna are located just south of Warm Springs, on the same radio tower asWJSP-FM 88.1. It is one of only two GPB stations actually licensed to a major Georgia city, the other beingWVAN-TV in Savannah. However, to conform to GPB's pattern of naming two cities instation ID s, the station is shown as "WJSP-TV 28, Columbus / Warm Springs".The station's signal travels in about a 45-mile (72km) radius from the transmitter site, though this is variable since it uses a
directional antenna . [http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/FMTV-service-area?x=TV153698.html] The signal also reaches far south-southwestmetro Atlanta .There is also one
broadcast translator , W49AD, channel 49 in Carrollton, in the southwest corner of the Atlanta television market; that translator's digital companion channel is aconstruction permit for W13DJ-D on channel 13, not yet on-air as ofJanuary 2008 .WJSP primarily serves the northern and central part of the Columbus
TV market . The southern part of the Columbus market is served by Dawson'sWACS-TV . While WJSP is the official GPB station for Columbus, the city generally gets a better signal from WACS.The station had originally chosen to return to channel 28 for digital TV during the first-round
digital channel election , but due to aninterference conflict it was forced to remain permanently on 23.History
WJSP-TV signed on
August 10 ,1964 as the fifthpublic television station in Georgia. Its somewhat reduced-power digital signal, on channel 23, began in 2003.The channel 28 frequency was originally home to
WTVM from 1953 to 1960, when they moved to channel 9.WJSP's callsign is from the
initials of long-time Georgia legislator and member of the state'sboard of education ,James S. Peters ofManchester, Georgia .External links
