Television stations
In station IDs for GPB's television stations, each station specifies two
locations -- usually, the smaller community where the station is licensed by the
FCC (almost always the transmitter location) and the larger city it serves. The
exceptions are WVAN and WJSP, which are actually licensed in major Georgia
cities. WVAN is licensed to Savannah, while WJSP is licensed to Columbus.
However, in order to conform to the pattern, GPB lists the locations for the
stations' transmitters as the second city.
This rule only applies to the television stations, not to those on radio, which,
except for two, bear only the location of the transmitter.

of northern Georgia, including all of the metropolitan Atlanta area and the
cities of Cleveland, Madison, Jackson, Douglasville, and Gainesville.
