WNCF

Digital programming
Although WBMM airs its own digital signal, it can also be seen on WNCF's second digital subchannel.

History
The station signed-on March 12, 1954 as WCCB-TV. It was the third station in Montgomery after WSFA and WCOV-TV. A fourth, Selma's WAKA-TV, moved into the Montgomery market in the 1980s. The call letters were changed to WKAB-TV in 1964. The previous calls currently reside on a Fox affiliate in Charlotte, North Carolina. The station has always been an ABC affiliate although it has gone through several owners including Bahakel Communications and Media General among others. The call sign has changed twice after it became WKAB. It became WHOA-TV (for "Heart of Alabama") in 1989 and most recently WNCF (for "Where News Comes First") in 1999. The current call sign switch coincided with a short-lived return to the local news race. It originally aired a digital signal on UHF channel 51 from a transmitter at its studios. Before the analog television shutdown, WNCF returned to channel 32 on April 20, 2009.

News operation
News open seen weeknights at 10.As WKAB, it operated a news department and aired local broadcasts branded as WKAB-TV News. After the call letters were changed to WHOA, the newscasts were called NewsWatch 32.

Currently, the channel's news department works with a news sharing agreement with NBC affiliate WLTZ in Columbus, Georgia. Since the Montgomery and Columbus coverage areas border each other, WNCF features local WLTZ personnel on their broadcasts, and vice versa. The station currently airs full newscasts weeknights at 9 (on WBMM) and 10 (on WNCF) in high definition. It airs a Friday night football show entitled Inside the Tide & Tigers during college football season.

WNCF airs a weekday call-in show from 5:30 to 7 a.m. entitled Good Morning Montgomery and WBMM airs the nationally syndicated morning show The Daily Buzz on weekdays from 5 to 8 a.m. Good Morning Montgomery can also be seen via live steaming video on WNCF's website.
