Fox O&O WAGA Atlanta (DMA 9) is adding The Georgia Scene, a half-hour, weekly entertainment show. Hosted by Good Day Atlanta’s Alyse Eady, Sharon Lawson and Paul Milliken, this program is designed to “connect viewers with all of the biggest productions in the state,” WAGA says, since Georgia has become one of the top locations for filming, with recent movies like Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War as well as ongoing series, specifically, Stranger Things, The Walking Dead and Fox’s Star and The Resident.

The hosts will often be joined by local industry insiders who provide unique perspectives on the filming, from behind-the-scenes knowledge, to visiting the sites on location and conducting on-set interviews with the stars and filmmakers.

The Georgia Scene is set to debut July 20 on WAGA at 12:30 p.m. and run for eight weeks as a summer preview show.

Bill Schneider, WAGA VP-GM, added: “We see the shoots happening. We see the Georgia Peach at the end of movie credits — but it is all still a bit surreal. We want to highlight the excitement of how the industry is changing our state because honestly, it’s a lot of fun!”

Alyse Eady currently is co-host of Good Day Atlanta. Prior to that, she anchored the morning news on KTHV in Little Rock, Ark. Previously, she was Miss Arkansas, and was named first runner up when representing the state in the 2011 Miss America pageant.

Sharon Lawson also currently co-hosts Good Day Atlanta. She previously was the weekend morning anchor at WTVJ Miami, where she started as a general assignment reporter in 2003. Prior to that, Lawson was a reporter and anchor in Minneapolis and earlier, Dayton, Ohio, and before that in Salisbury, Md.
