WWUX

WWUX is the TCN-affiliated station licensed to serve the Frey, Alabama area. It is owned by Confection Broadcasting, broadcasting in a duopoly with low-powered MyNetworkTV affiliate WAMY-LD. 
== History ==
WWUX signed on the air as an independent station on May 27, 1990. At the time, it aired a mix of religious programming, cartoons, syndicated sitcom reruns, and old movies in primetime. It used the branding Laff 35 (in no way related to Laff) due to its comedy-heavy format.
In 1997, due to low funds and declining viewership, WWUX signed off. A test pattern reading "WWUX TV 25" was seen from then until December 3, 1999, when it became an affiliate of The Chance Network. It was purchased by Confection Broadcasting, and underwent a massive overhaul.
On New Years' Day 2000 (the station aired CBS coverage of the new Millennium via WJMO the preceding evening), local newscasts under the title Frey's NewsCenter25 debuted, airing from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., and 9 p.m. to 10:35 p.m. The newscasts were heavily promoted, even to the point that channel 25 would run a crawl every 5 minutes during all syndicated programming (which, back then, included relatively cheap shows such as Howie Mandel and The Wayans Bros.) which read as follows:HEY, YOU! YES, YOU!! CHANNEL 25 IS YOUR HOME FOR THE LATEST, MOST ACCURATE NEWSCASTS! AT 7AM, 12NOON, 5:30PM, AND 9PM-10:30PM WE ARE BRINGING YOU THAT, PLUS MUCH MORE!!! SO, MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE, AND TUNE INTO FREY'S NEWSCENTER25 -- YOU WON'T REGRET ANYTHING!!!Successful, 6 a.m. and weekend evening newscasts were added. The title was shortened to just NewsCenter25 in 2002. The station's website, tcn25.tv, was launched in 2003, and featured a live stream of channel 25's newscast, which was rare back then.
Presently, in a fashion similar to Saraland TCN affiliate WSRL, WWUX has a news-heavy schedule; NewsCenter25 is aired from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. (with a 7 to 9 extension on WAMY-LD), at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., and 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weekdays.
Syndicated programming on WWUX includes Major Crimes, The Doctors, and 2 Broke Girls.
