WFMA

WFMA is a FOX affiliate serving Montgomery, Alabama, and it's surrounding areas. Broadcasting on channel 40, WFMA is owned and operated by Journal Media. From the time the station signed on in 2000 until 2011, WFMA was known as WMA and was an independent. Then in 2011, WMTG (now WCMC) announced that they would be leaving CBS to join the Rainbow Dash Network (RDN). In a scramble, CBS was moved to then-FOX affiliate WSLA, and the FOX affiliation was moved to WMA. After WMA was awarded the affiliation, they changed their call letters to WFMA. And in 2013, after Journal Media purchased the station, WFMA launched their own newscast.
