Seeing how the morning listings are situated for the other network affiliates, are you sure the lineup doesn't go like this?

WBRC apparently did not run ABC's daytime lineup in pattern

 

[Charles1]

WBRC carried only the first hour of GMA throughout most of the '80's. It wasn't until the late 70's or early 80's that they carried even the first hour.

 

[bpatrick]

He's correct; ABC's "World News This Morning" aired
at 6:30, followed by "GMA" at 7 (Ch. 6 wasn't about
to cut "Country Boy Eddy"). And there is a lot of
out-of-pattern scheduling here; Ch. 6 pre-empted
whatever ABC ran from 10 to 11 (CT), and I don't
remember what it was, so many shows came and
went before "The View" came along; they also pre-empted
"Loving" (11:30 CT), and they always ran "All My Children"
(12 CT) on delay; in fact, the current ABC outlet, WCFT/
WJSU, is the one that finally put "AMC" in pattern in
Birmingham; nowadays the whole ABC daytime lineup airs
in pattern there.

And just for the record, Birmingham is a morning market
for "Let's Make A Deal" (9 AM); WIAT runs Wendy Williams
at 2 (CT).
