Here are the station listings from an early Georgia edition of "TV GUIDE," November, 1956. All three Atlanta stations were located on West Peachtree.
Cover girl Fran Adams was a TV actor on WLTV, channel 8, which would later become WLW-A, channel 11.
Local Atlanta broadcasts are marked with a red star, otherwise the programs originate from New York City (unless noted). All broadcasts were live unless marked "FILM." Videotape did not yet exist. 83% of network programs were live, 63% of local shows. There were 530 programs broadcast during the week of May 3, 1952.
Fifteen-minute broadcasts such as "Movie Quick Quiz" comprised a remarkable 41% of all programs. Ray McKay would later host WLW-A's "Skipper Ray." There were also a number of forty-five minute shows.
This piece explains how cover girl Fran Adams started in TV, the week before.
WSB (NBC) and WAGA (CBS-DuMont) each broadcast about 100 hours a week, WLTV (ABC) sixty-one hours. CBS and NBC provided local stations with over fifty network hours a week, but ABC produced only a paltry 15 hours, with no daytime feed at all.
For reasons unknown, WAGA did not carry Ed Sullivan in mid 1952 and ran a film instead. Ten years later, WSB refused to carry Jack Paar's "Tonight Show," and WLW-A broadcast it, but not in color.
Typical of the half-hour local shows was "Memo for Milady." WAGA's Scottie mascot "Waga" was drawn by Atlanta illustrator Jim Schell.
"The Dinah Shore Show" was an example of a 15 minute show which aired twice weekly, Tuesday and Thursday.
The Henry Grady (see ad below) and other grand hotels across the country would never recover from the idiot box.
"The Peachtree Cowboys" were WSB's country (or"hillbilly") half hour live show which ran Monday through Friday at noon and Thursdays at night. Jon Farmer and his TV Wranglers were WAGA's act, with daily 45 minute morning shows and an hour on Saturday afternoon. Channel 8's contribution was "The Swingbillies" for a half-hour weeknights.
Shirley Krayble was on air for WLTV as hostess of the daily half-hour "Shopping Atlanta." She later had a kid's show after WLTV became WLW-A.
Sports broadcasts for the week were heavy on wrestling, light on boxing, and the only other live event aired during this week was The Kentucky Derby.
High-voiced Dale Clark later became News Director at WAGA and would read their lightweight editorials through 1980.
There were five soaps, eight mystery/detective, and fifteen dramatic shows broadcast live each week. Of the listings below, only "Fireside Theatre" and "Dragnet" were on film.
Former film actress Laraine Day (Mrs. Leo Durocher) joined her husband in this fifteen minute weekly film show.
Burns and Allen broadcast live from New York in 1951-2, then moved to Hollywood and film the next season.
Mainstay of the WSB airwaves was Ruth Kent, here shown on her 1952 "Come Into the Kitchen." She would spend twenty-two years with WSB-TV, primarily with "Today in Georgia" which began in September, 1953.
Left to right, Bob van Camp, unidentified man holding "TV Digest," and WSB-TV emcee Lee Jordan on the morning show "Strictly for the Girls." Van Camp had been hired as music director of WSB in 1947 when they still had a house band, and he remained on the radio side until 1974. "Because I played the organ, they put organ in those shows." After leaving WSB in the mid-50's, Lee Jordan was for many years an announcer at WCBS radio, New York.
"Don Elliot" whose real name was Don Elliott Heald began as a newsman and was co-host with Ruth Kent when "Today in Georgia" first aired. He soon became GM of WSB-TV, a post he held for decades. He had begun at WCON radio.
Woody Willow was a marionette and program created by WSB-TV when they first went on the air in 1948. Woody ran until 1956, replaced by "The Popeye Club" with Don Kennedy soon after White Columns opened.
Freddie Miller in May, 1952 appeared on both WAGA's "Stars of Tomorrow" (below) and WLTV's "Sports Corner." "Stars of Tomorrow" later moved to WLW-A, where Freddy also announced "Live Atlanta Wrestling."
During 1952, Fran Adams' new partner became Dick van Dyke on a daily show titled "Music Shop." Under her married name Fran Kearton she later wrote of her years at WLTV and WLW-A in the book "Waiting for the Banana Peel."
Fran Adams later had a kid's show "Fun with Fran" on WLW-A, as did Rosie Clark (inset) as Miss Boo. This article is dedicated to Fran Adams Keaton (1920-2014). She was a graduate of NAPS.
