Thanks, I enjoyed that.
I guess Mobile gets their ABC from Pensacola?

Look, I would call this the MISFIT edition. With channel numbers like 15, 23, 35, 42, 44, 56 (unusual, and for all to be in the same edition) to me that's the kind of TV Guide worth collecting (exciting).
 
Mobile and Pensacola are a single market. They are #60, and it encompasses Ft. Walton Beach as well.

Dothan's WTVY had been Panama City's default CBS affiliate since 1960 since Panama City had no CBS outlet of their own. Two years ago, WECP/channel 18 signed on as the city's own CBS affiliate, although viewers with strong outdoor aerials can still get WTVY. And WECP now has an application filed to move to channel 29 so sister station WJHG can move their digital transmissions to channel 18 (retaining 7 as their display channel).
 
Well having Mobile and Pensacola in the same market may have made sense in 1975, but you'd think by now they would have split it.......especially with digital, where the signal doesn't travel very far.

As stand-alone markets, both Mobile and Pensacola would be relatively small markets. And as spaced out as "major" metro areas are in south Alabama, it's probably an idea of the fewer markets, the better. Remember, it's 170 miles between Montgomery and Mobile, and about the same distance between Montgomery and Pensacola.

There are also Channels 21, 31, 33 and 55 in the Mobile-Pensacola market. Channel 21 is the TBN affiliate for Mobile, Channel 31 is Daystar from Mobile, Channel 33 is the CTN (Christian Television Network) affiliate in Pensacola, and Channel 55 signed on in the fall of '01 as the market's WB affiliate. It's now the CW affiliate. BTW---its COL is Gulf Shores, AL...about halfway between Mobile and Pensacola.

And for more fun...there was a Channel 53 licensed to Fort Walton Beach (part of the market); it's now dark, and there is a Channel 48 licensed to Destin, also part of the market.
 
Yep, 53 was WPAN and had been a home shopping channel. 48 is WFBD, an independent.
