Turner Broadcasting System unveiled its 18th cable channel last week, Turner South, which will debut this fall in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and parts of North Carolina.
Turner South is led by Bill Burke, president of the TBS Superstation.
Like other TBS properties, the channel will rely heavily on existing programming. Among the offerings will be sports (the Atlanta Braves, Hawks and Thrashers–all owned by TBS chairman Ted Turner), movies from its vast library and World Championship Wrestling.
Burke said the channel would present original programming as well.
