WBSV-LD is the TCN affiliate serving the Birmingham-Tuscaloosa area, licensed to Graysville. It is currently owned by Confection Broadcasting.
== History ==
Channel 7 first signed on the air on January 18, 2001 with the call letters W87JN. It was a translator of WGDE, the CBS affiliate licensed to Gadsden. 
In 2002, the station was bought by Confection Broadcasting and became an affiliate of TCN. Its call letters were changed to WBSV-LP corresponding with the change. 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts were also added, under the title NewsCenter 7.
In 2009, the station changed its call letters to WBSV-LD after the digital switchover. At 2 p.m. Central Time on June 12, 2009, the station permanently signed off its analog signal and became digital-only. A new digital subchannel, with local tourist information and hourly weather forecasts, was added after the switch. In the event WBSV needs to preempt programming for an extended amount of time, the subchannel will begin airing WBSV's shows (the first time this happened was during the EF4 Tuscaloosa tornado on April 27, 2011. 
In 2011, a morning newscast was added under the title A.M. Alabama. It initially ran from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. (the station did not air TCN News This Morning from its 2007 launch until 2013), but has since moved and now runs from 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. 
Syndicated programming on WBSV-LD includes Live with Kelly and Ryan and Impractical Jokers. The station airs Lunch Break Live with Ivana, a local talk show hosted by al.com's Ivana Hrynkiw Shatara, weekday afternoons at 12:30 p.m. On weekend afternoons, the station broadcasts local sports games.
