West Alabama TV viewers are experiencing changes in their local programming. Channel 42, now known as Alabama’s 42, is no longer the CBS affiliate for Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. Instead, it will offer more local news and weather coverage, including a morning news block, a noon newscast, and evening news blocks.
Impact on Viewers
CBS programming has shifted to WVTM-TV, which also carries NBC programming. This change may affect viewers who rely on these channels for live sports, including college and pro football. The new lineup for Alabama’s 42 includes a morning news block from 7-9 am, a one-hour noon newscast, an afternoon news block at 4 and 5 pm, and a newscast at 9 pm, as well as weekend news blocks on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
