WTBS-LP is a low-power TV station on channel 26 in metro Atlanta. The city of license is Atlanta, and the transmitter and antenna are located in downtown Atlanta atop the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel (coord|33|45|34|N|84|23|19|W|display=inline,title|name=WTBS-LP TV transmitter), along with WTHC-LP. Owned by Prism Broadcasting Network since 1991, it airs music video programming from MTV Tr3́s.

WTBS-LP has a construction permit to increase its coverage somewhat, switching from a mostly omnidirectional antenna to a somewhat directional antenna, preventing it from covering any further to the west after the upgrade. The new location is atop Bank of America Plaza (coord|33|46|15|N|84|23|10|W|display=inline|name=WTBS-LP TV construction permit, NAD27 datum), along with Prism's WANN-LP on channel 32, and several other broadcasters.

It was originally W56CD in Rome, Georgia, then became W26BT, then WANX-LP in January 2000, and finally WTBS-LP on October 15, 2007. It is not related to former WANX-TV, now WGCL-TV 46, or the former WTBS, now WPCH-TV 17.
