WABE-TV was Georgia's first public television station, signing on as WETV in February 1958, and is the only one that is not part of Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB). It has typically provided a programming mix more reflective of the city of Atlanta than the statewide service from GPB, though duplication between the two has been an issue at times in WABE-TV's history.
