WFBD
WFBD, virtual channel 48, is an independent television station serving Pensacola, Florida, United States that is licensed to Destin. The station is owned by Flinn Broadcasting. WFBD's transmitter is located near Wing, Alabama, north of the Alabama–Florida state line.
Due to its transmitter location, the station's signal covers the eastern half of the Pensacola–Mobile area and not Mobile proper. Because of this, WFBD must rely on cable and satellite carriage in order to serve the entire market.History
