CBS Atlanta Gets Four Falcons Games This Season
CBS News and Stations
Some upcoming Falcons games will be changing stations, from former CBS affiliate WANF Channel 46 to the new Eye Network outlet WUPA Channel 69.
While Fox 5 (WAGA) is the official home of the Falcons, and they get most of this season’s games because the Falcons are an NFC team and Fox has NFC rights to the games, the NFL has slated CBS to air four games featuring the Falcons: Week 4 vs. the DC Commanders on September 28, Week 8 vs. the Miami Dolphins on October 26, Week 9 vs. the New England Patriots on November 2, and Week 12 vs. the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 23.
Those games would have been on Atlanta News First (WANF), but they did not renew their CBS affiliation, so the games are heading to the new Atlanta CBS station, CBS Atlanta.
BTW, the station is still building out its news division, which was slated to launch later this month. No sports reporting talent has been announced that would be joining the upstart CBS Atlanta news project.
Fox 5 Welcomes Back Georgia

A familiar face returned to Fox 5 Sports this week.
Sports journalist Georgia Chambers returned to WAGA after leaving the station earlier this year. Now that she’s back full-time, the UGA grad will be focusing on Georgia Bulldogs coverage.
Chambers has built an impressive resume since she first joined Fox 5 in July 2023. She won an EMMY Award this year for her sports coverage at the station. In addition, she worked with SCORE Atlanta, covering high school football, including the recent Corky Kell+Dave Hunter Classic, Rowdy Sports, and co-hosted a podcast with fellow sports journalist Sudu Upadhyay.
Earlier this summer, Fox 5 added another sports journalist, Atlanta native Olivia Whitmire, to its roster. Both she and Chambers worked in the Huntsville TV market before they came to Atlanta.
The Game Outpaces The Fan in Latest Radio Ratings

WZGC (929 The Game) continued to outpace its sports radio competitor WCNN (The Fan) in the latest Nielsen Atlanta radio ratings for July 2025.
Audacy-owned WZGC scored a 2.2 (#18 ranked) rating, down from 2.6 in June, but enough to beat #21 ranked WCNN’s 1.7, down from the 2.2 it scored a month earlier. WCNN is owned by Dickey Broadcasting.
On the whole, Atlanta radio listeners seemed more interested in Boston and Foreigner than the Braves and the Falcons, as WSRV, a classic hits station, led all Atlanta stations with a 7.5 July rating.
