We pride ourselves on being innovators in the way we serve our viewers. CBS 8 was the first station in the Montgomery market to broadcast digitally at full power. That means more people can receive our signal throughout the area.
One of those tools is the Alfa SkyCam Network. These cameras are stationed throughout key areas of Alabama and transmit Live video and weather conditions. No other station in our area has as many cameras as Alabama News Network. Our meteorologists can use the network to pinpoint tornados, hail and floods. When severe weather threatens, you can stay up to date on both CBS 8 and ABC Montgomery. Our meteorologists are committed to keeping you and your family safe 24 hours a day, without a lot of hype or scare tactics. They will bring you the most accurate information available.
The West Alabama Newsroom in downtown Selma covers Dallas, Lowndes, Wilcox, Marengo and Perry counties. When news breaks in that area, we are much faster in getting to the scene with Live coverage. The South Alabama Newsroom in downtown Greenville provides a hub for crews to cover Butler, Covington, Crenshaw and Conecuh counties. During hurricane season, we can cover dangerous weather conditions much more easily by having this office with its Live capabilities. The Troy Newsroom helps us cover all of Pike County and Troy University better than anyone else. When news happens here, we have a one-hour head start on the competition. They're on the road while we're on the air. Because our crews live in these areas, they know the people and the issues and can provide Live coverage when news breaks 24 hours a day.
WCCB Fox 18 Charlotte, NC Our radio stations are in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Waterloo, Iowa and Colorado Springs, Colorado.

We are now under one roof as the Alabama News Network, with cutting-edge high definition equipment and a state-of-the-art studio.

Alabama News Network has made a tremendous commitment to covering severe weather. Our new state-of-the-art weather center has the latest computer forecasting technology. Our team of meteorologists can forecast severe weather better than ever before.
Alabama News Network also has four working newsrooms -- in Montgomery, West Alabama, South Alabama and Troy.
Alabama News Network also produces WCOV News at Nine seven nights a week for Montgomery's Fox affiliate, WCOV-20. This partnership began in January 2011, after WCOV decided to end its relationship with another Montgomery station. The partnership is remarkable, considering that CBS 8 battled WCOV for 30 years in order to boost our signal strength. 
CBS 8 is owned by Bahakel Communications of Charlotte, North Carolina -- a leader in television and radio station ownership. The other Bahakel-owned TV stations are:
