WCAJ

WCAJ is a MyNetworkTV affiliate serving the Birmingham, Alabama area, Including Tuscaloosa and Anniston, Alabama. Broadcasting on channel 11, WCAJ was owned and operated by Adelphia Communications Corporation. From the time the station signed on in 1986 until 1995, WCAJ was an independent station. In 1995, WCAJ became an UPN affiliate, where they remained until 2006 when WCAJ left the network to join MyNetworkTV. On Jan. 3, 2017, Adelphia sold the station to Tribune Broadcasting so that they could shift their focus to improve then-sister station and MyTV O&O WBAT's ratings. WCAJ also carries the Tribune Sports package. On Jun. 1, 2020, Tribune sold the station to Tegna.
== New Owners and a new plan ==
On Dec. 31, 2016, Sinclair Broadcast Group shocked the market when they announced they sold NBC-affiliate WAPI to NBCUniversal, thus making two O&O's in one market (CBS-affiliate WBHM is owned and operated by CBS Corporation). Feeling the heat of having two O&O's in the market, Adelphia decided to shift their focus from WCAJ to their own O&O (MyTV-affiliate WBAT). On Jan. 3, 2017, Adelphia decided to sell WCAJ to Tribune Broadcasting.
