WSB’s White Columns…A Shrine To Atlanta Radio & Television

WSB’s White Columns…A Shrine To Atlanta Radio & Television

When NBC Radio started in 1927, WSB was already on the air and was one of the first affiliates to sign up. As a matter of fact, the famous NBC chimes were inspired by WSB’s chimes.

White Columns on Peachtree Street was one of the grandest broadcast centers anywhere, and although it’s gone now…it is not forgotten. This article from our friend Bob Foreman is full of rare photos and some interesting facts. One of which is the date WSB broadcast NBC network shows in color…1954. Enjoy and share!

By the way, the photo is shows Atlanta legend Don Kennedy in his earliest days as “Officer Don” on an early ‘Clubhouse Gang’ show. With him is Howdy Doody host, Buffalo Bob Smith and given Smith’s appearance and the lack of the regular set, this may be the show’s debut.
