WVUA-CD, virtual channel 7 (UHF digital channel 23), is a This TV-affiliated television station serving Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States that is licensed to Northport. Owned by the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama, WVUA-CD maintains studio and transmitter facilities located within the Digital Media Center at Bryant-Denny Stadium on the University's campus.
As WVUA-CD's low-powered broadcasting radius does not reach the entire Birmingham–Tuscaloosa–Anniston market, the station's programming is simulcast to the remainder of the area on full-power satellite station WVUA, virtual channel 23 (VHF digital channel 6), which is licensed to Tuscaloosa. WVUA maintains transmitter facilities located atop Red Mountain, near the southern edge of Birmingham.
In addition to full-power WVUA, WVUA-CD's signal is relayed on low-power repeaters WDVZ-CD (channel 3) in Greensboro and WJMY-CD (channel 25) in Demopolis.
On cable, WVUA is available on Charter Spectrum channel 6 (Fox affiliate WBRC, which broadcasts over-the-air on virtual channel 6, is carried on cable channel 7), Comcast Xfinity channel 17, and AT&T U-verse channel 23 in standard definition; and in high definition on Spectrum channel 1013 (channel 706 in outlying areas), Xfinity channel 1004, and AT&T U-verse channel 1023.
