Profile CDBS |
WBMM is the CW-affiliated television station for Central Alabama's River Region that is licensed to Tuskegee. It broadcasts a 720p high definition digital signal on UHF channel 22 from a transmitter in unincorporated southwestern Bullock County along the Pike County line. Owned by Bahakel Communications, WBMM is sister to CBS affiliate WAKA and ABC affiliate WNCF. However, the latter is actually owned by SagamoreHill Broadcasting but operated by Bahakel through a shared services agreement.
All three television outlets share studios on Harrison Road in North Montgomery. Even though it is a full-powered outlet, WBMM is part of the national CW Plus programming service. The station has a website typical of CW Plus affiliates with some custom, localized content. The station can also be seen over-the-air in standard definition on WNCF's second digital subchannel. This can be seen on UHF channel 31.2 (or virtual channel 32.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter in Gordonville.
