WFBD (channel 48) is a religious television station licensed to Destin, Florida, United States, serving northwest Florida and southwest Alabama as an owned-and-operated station of Tri-State Christian Television (TCT). The station's primary transmitter is located near Wing, Alabama, north of the Alabama–Florida state line.
Due to its transmitter location, WFBD's signal covers the eastern half of the Pensacola–Mobile area and not Mobile proper. Therefore, in order to serve the western part of the market, the station is simulcast in high definition on the second digital subchannel of Fort Walton Beach–licensed WPAN (channel 53.2) from its transmitter near Molino, Florida.[1]
History
The channel 48 frequency was previously used by former TV station WKAB-TV (1952–1954).
WFBD was formerly an affiliate of the America One television network, and a subscriber to the Independent News Network.
