11Alive: NBC News for Metro Atlanta

Branded 11Alive, WXIA is Atlanta's NBC station, owned by TEGNA and reporting across one of the South's largest and busiest metros. From downtown Atlanta and the neighborhoods around Midtown and Buckhead out to the suburbs of Marietta, Alpharetta, Decatur, and the many counties that ring the city, 11Alive keeps viewers informed on the news that shapes daily life in the region.

In a metro as sprawling as Atlanta, coverage means a lot of ground. The station reports on breaking local news, Atlanta city hall and Georgia state politics under the Gold Dome, and the notorious traffic on the interstates and the perimeter of I-285 that so many Atlantans navigate every day. It tracks the weather that defines a Georgia year, from summer heat and severe thunderstorms with the threat of tornadoes to the rare winter ice event that can bring the whole region to a standstill on the highways.

The station also devotes time to the stories that matter to families across the metro: schools and the choices facing parents, public safety and the courts, consumer and investigative segments that answer viewers' questions, and community and human-interest features drawn from the diverse communities spread across the region. Sports run deep here too, in a town that follows its Braves, Falcons, and Hawks, along with the college and high-school programs that draw a passionate following across Georgia.
