Bham's ABC 3340 is now on 68.2

Wonder if 33 will broadcast covering Tuscaloosa (old tower, perhaps) or will they continue on their current tower? Better yet, what kind of programming? Ion? Antenna TV?

Ion is already on channel 44.

33's old tower was demolished a couple of years ago.

Yes, but since 44's tower is closer to Gadsden than it is to Birmingham, its over the air reception leaves much to be desired south and west of downtown Birmingham. At least in the analogue days, 33 put in a good signal over Vestavia, Hoover and into Shelby County.

Having just sorted out all of this as a sidebar to an article I have written for Clarke Ingram's forthcoming "History of UHF Television" site on channel 37*, that's actually correct.

Forthcoming is now reality, as Santa left the new site under the tree.

33 and 40 are now Heartland. ABC (WBMA) is now also on 40.2.
