The FCC should have accounted for the larger trend: that everything that could be digitized would be digitized, including audio and video production and distribution. That distribution would shift to the Internet-a collection of every network on earth, all using the same open protocol, putting everyone and everything on it a functional distance apart of zero, at costs that veered in the same direction-was also clear by the early '00s. Against this backdrop, over-the--air broadcasting by "stations" with limited range was obsolete. Maybe the FCC knew it and just wanted to incrementalize the shift from broadcast TV to a mix of free and paid versions of "content distribution." But the result today is that over-the-air broadcast TV is obsolete, and radio is moving in the same direction. Saving analog was never in the cards, sorry to say.
WDCO stood for M.D. COllins, a former director of schools in the State, contrary to the belief that the calls stood for Direct from COchran. The call sign was changed around 2006 to WMUM to reflect the city of Macon and Mercer University.
I live in Georgia and I was two young to see this but I do remember waching PBS in the morning for the kids cartoons and like I said I was to young to stay up and wach this. But I was born in 2004 so I was around when this happened. But I really love this montage of just how beautiful my state is! Love my state love this song!!! God bless yall and have a great day.
Reminds me of my childhood. As I got older and moved out on my own, I'd change over to GPTV right before the sign off each night and reminisce again and again with pride in the beauty that is home for me, so eloquently reflected in Ray's incomparable rendition of our state song. Now, seeing this again reminds me of my dad, who we lost 2 months ago today. I see him in every sequence, and remember how much I still love my home sweet home that is forever Georgia On My Mind.
Thanks for posting. My dad was Chief Engineer at WCES Wrens Georgia. Over his 35 year of service I have way to many wonderful memories to share. WCES at one time had the oldest running qulicetroube tube transmitter in continuous operation. I spent many days have my dad breaking down and rework them.
Look folks, get a recording of Ray Charles' Georgia on My Mind and start it when you see the waves and sun coming up over the beautiful Georgia coastline. It's like the Southern version of Pink Floyd and The Wizard of Oz.
Pretty cool. I watched a Delta IV rocket launch down at cape canaveral and I was the only one in my family interested. I'll be gone for tomorrow's launch at NASA's Wallop Flight Facility in VA.

@HeWasJustAMuffin1 When you say it, it must be so, since everbody knows, all UFO-footages on YT are real ET-spacecrafts and all missile launches are the fakes. (\_/) ^_~
@cupchange @suddencatharsis @bman0761 watch this. The WHOLE video. Since it was proven that the pictures of the object taken with the lights and the spotlight were proven fakes, nothin more then a helicopter shot in a diff location, this should shut your hater asses up.
look at the colors! look at the colors! Oh, My, GOD! That is soooo cooool!!! That little kid is so cute! Where did the rocket go? did it just explode in space?
