    • Trivia
      From "Egor's Chamber of TV Horror Hosts": Channel 17 in Atlanta was originally a UHF station called WJRJ-TV when Ted Turner bought it and renamed it WTCG ("Watch This Channel Grow") in 1970. Around 1976-77 he changed the call letters again to WTBS (Turner Broadcasting System), the first cable Superstation. Dead Earnest appeared on Channel 17 during Ted Turner's early years of managing the station.
