WBMA-LD
WBMA-LD, virtual channel 58 (UHF digital channel 40), is an ABC-affiliated television station located in Birmingham, Alabama, United States. The station is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, as part of a de facto legal triopoly with CW affiliate WTTO (channel 21) and MyNetworkTV affiliate WABM (channel 68); Sinclair also operates Tuscaloosa-based WDBB (channel 17), which operates as a satellite station of WTTO, under a time brokerage agreement with Cunningham Broadcasting. WBMA-LD maintains studio facilities located at the Riverchase office park on Concourse Parkway in Hoover (with a Birmingham address), and its transmitter is located atop Red Mountain (near the Tarpley City neighborhood) in southwestern Birmingham.
WBMA transmits a low-power digital signal, which provides an over-the-air broadcasting radius that is effectively limited to Birmingham proper and nearby areas in Jefferson and Shelby counties. Because of this, the station's programming is simulcast as a digital subchannel on two other central Alabama stations that act as full-power relays – including those of WABM and WDBB – in order to reach the entire Birmingham–Tuscaloosa–Anniston market.
The station's brand name, "ABC 33/40", derives from the two stations that operated as its full-power satellite stations to simulcast WBMA in southwestern and northeastern areas of central Alabama from its inception in 1995 until 2014: WCFT-TV (channel 33) in Tuscaloosa and WJSU-TV (channel 40) in Anniston. The "ABC 33/40" brand remains in use as an artifact following a 2014 programming realignment stemming from Sinclair's sales of both stations – now respectively using the call letters WSES and WGWW, and operating as affiliates of Heroes & Icons – to Howard Stirk Holdings, which caused the former to lose its status as a WBMA satellite entirely and the latter to relegate WBMA's programming to one of its digital subchannels.
==Stations==
While WBMA is technically considered the main station and official ABC affiliate for the overall Birmingham market, the signal of the low-powered WBMA is simulcast on the digital subchannels of other full-powered stations to ensure reception across the region. Nielsen Media Research treats the signals as one for ratings purposes, under the name WBMA+.
