TBS is an
American cable television network that shows sports and a variety of programming, with a focus on comedy. It is currently owned by

TBS (which stands for
Turner Broadcasting System) was originally known as
WTCG, a
UHF terrestrial television station owned by media mogul
Ted Turner that broadcast from
Atlanta, Georgia, during the late 1970s. WTCG reportedly stood for "
Watch
This
Channel
Grow" (although the "TCG" officially stood for
Turner Communications Group, the forerunner to Turner Broadcasting System).
