WTBS-LD (channel 6) is a low-power television station in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Although licensed as a TV station, it primarily functions as a radio station on 87.7 FM. It has been owned by Prism Broadcasting since 1991, and its transmitter site is located at the American Tower Site on Chester Avenue in downtown Atlanta.
The original WTBS-LD (channel 26) was also a low-power television station in Atlanta, affiliated with Estrella TV. The station, which broadcast six subchannels, was a digital satellite of the current WTBS-LD, then known as WTBS-LP.
The digital transmitter, which signed on in early January 2011, was, with its sister station WANN-CD, located just northeast of the city on one of the two large towers on Briarcliff Road, at the same site along with CW affiliate WPCH-TV (channel 17), Univision owned-and-operated station WUVG-DT (channel 34), independent station WANF (channel 46), TBN O&O WHSG-TV (channel 63), and several other stations.
The original WTBS-LD's license was canceled by the Federal Communications Commission on March 17, 2021.
