Good Day Atlanta viewer information: Jan. 8, 2026

Here are the special guests and segments for Jan. 8, 2026:

Paul Milliken previews the Atlanta Boat Show: Today is opening day for the 2026 Discover Boating Atlanta Boat Show in partnership with Progressive, which runs daily through Sunday, Jan. 11, at the downtown Atlanta venue's Hall B. The annual event — a tradition for local families for more than 60 years — is essentially a celebration of the boating industry, and an easy way for future owners to check out a wide range of boats and personal watercraft all under one roof. Experts say it's a great place to "compare shop" — in other words, checking out various boats side-by-side and speaking with dealers before making any decisions. This year's theme is "Launching Point," which organizers say highlights the show's entry point for people new to the world of boating.
