You Want NBC in Atlanta? We Got You Covered (Unless You're Buried Under a Rock)
Let's face it, navigating the Atlanta TV landscape can be trickier than a peach cobbler recipe with a surprise habanero. But fear not, fellow Atlantasaurus Rex (that's you!), because today we're tackling the burning question: what channel is NBC in Atlanta?
Drumroll please... (insert dramatic music...or just the opening riff of Friends, whichever is closer on your mental Spotify)
The NBC crown in Atlanta belongs to WXIA-TV, also known as 11Alive. That's right, folks, channel 11 is your one-stop shop for all things NBC, from the latest Jimmy Fallon monologue that'll have you snorting your sweet tea to those nail-biting Sunday Night Football games (though hopefully with less nail-biting for Falcons fans these days).
But wait! There's more! (Because in Atlanta, there pretty much always is...)
For those rocking the old-school antenna and bunny ears (because hey, retro is cool!), you'll find WXIA-TV on VHF digital channel 10. For our cable-clutching comrades, here's the cheat sheet:
- Comcast Xfinity: Channel 6
- Charter Spectrum: Channel 6
Now, here's where things get interesting... (Cue X-Files theme song, Atlanta edition)
If you happen to be reading this from a giant monster truck with satellite TV while cruising down I-285 (hey, it's Atlanta, anything's possible!), WXIA-TV's call sign is WXIA-TV. Just sayin'.
