WAGA dropped Price after its telecast the Friday before Labor Day 1994, which was three months before it was to change from CBS to Fox. They began running Jerry Springer at 11 AM the following Monday. At the eleventh hour, independent station WVEU/ch. 69 stepped in and cleared Price at its regular 11 AM time.
Because it was sudden, and ch. 69 was a low-rated station, Price lost a good 2/3 of its Atlanta audience. Ch. 69 would run Price till December 9, 1994. That weekend, CBS moved to WGNX/ch. 46 (now WGCL) and Price would air on that station. WAGA, meanwhile, became our new Fox affiliate. Outgoing Fox station WATL/ch. 36 became an independent, only to join the WB that January 1995. WVEU joined UPN and was recalled WUPA. (WATL is now My Network TV and WUPA is now CW.)
Price was odd man out because WAGA reckoned that there'd be less squawking from the viewers if a game show had been dumped than if a soap opera had. WAGA also dumped CBS' entire Saturday morning line-up that fall, and that wouldn't be seen until ch. 46 officially became our CBS station.
