I always loved to read WAGM schedules back-in-the-day, but I believe it was *always* a primary CBS. The OP means stations that had each of the big-3 as a primary at different times in their career, if I read this right. It was interesting also that WAGM added Fox for NFL Football in 1995, making it a 4-netter..... cd ^I read the name of this topic again and you were right about the query of the person who inquired about the topic. WALA-TV's primary network affiliation was with NBC before switching to FOX on the last day of 1995 while WPMI-TV switched from FOX to NBC. |

Did they also carry "Star Trek: Voyager"? If so, then they had five nets at the same time, including UPN. |

About how of the Big Four...
WBRC Channel 6 in Birmingham: NBC (1949-54), CBS (1954-61), ABC (1961-96), Fox (1996-present). Plus, they had secondary stints with ABC and Dumont during the '50s.

WFBM-TV/WRTV Channel 6 Indianapolis was CBS (1949-55), ABC (1955-56) and NBC (1956-79), and has been ABC again since 1979. There was never a primary Dumont affiliate in the Indy market.

I don't know about Star Trek Voyager, but I do know they aired Star Trek Enterprise for a time from UPN, along with WWE Smackdown!...at least for a while. Today, WAGM-TV, although a CBS affiliate only now, actually puts that programming on 8-2. WAGM-TV 8-1 these days is a FOX affiliate. NBC and ABC are on cable from Bangor.

If one counts secondary affiliations, then WABT/WAFM/WAPI/WVTM-13 in Brimingham counts, as well: CBS/ABC (1949-54), NBC/ABC (1954-61), CBS/NBC (1961-70), NBC (1970-present) |

Don't know your source for knowing this, but that was one of the neater things I found browsing Birmingham Rewound. (The rest of the site is pretty good, too.) |
