WMUM-TV channel 29, part of the GPB network is the tenth and last public television station established in the state of Georgia. WMUM serves the geographical center of the state of Georgia, including the city of Macon from its transmitter in Cochran. The station's signal travels in about a 40-mile radius from the transmitter site.
WMUM will also be seen on DTV Channel 7, when service begins sometime in 2006; it will become the last GPB station to inaugurate a digital signal.
History
WMUM-TV signed on January 1, 1968 on channel 15 as WDCO-TV. In 1992, the station changed its UHF frequency from channel 15 to channel 29, the only time a GPB station has swapped channels. In the summer of 2006, the station changed its call sign to WMUM-TV, named after Mercer University in Macon. The name change reflects Mercer's involvement in GPB's operations in the Macon market, especially in the field of radio (see WMUM-FM).
