About

WSFA has continually built its news department. In the early days, it was one half-hour newscast a day. Now, WSFA airs more than 19 hours of local newscasts each week. Some of the most popular additions to WSFA news were a series of tower-cams, giving viewers aerial views of weather and traffic, and Advanced Super Doppler 12, the city's only live local weather radar.

WSFA was also the first television station in the state to upgrade to digital, non-linear video news gathering equipment and the transition to High-Definition is now underway. News coverage and the technology that accompanies it are mainstays at WSFA, however the station is equally grounded in community support projects throughout the year.

  • Key Differentiator
    Advertise on WSFA Reach: Broadcast television (over-the-air) reaches more people each day than any other medium. The average household views over seven hours per day. In fact, nine out of ten adults watch broadcast television an average of four hours per day, and 91% of homes in the Montgomery, AL viewing area have multiple TV sets. WSFA 12 reaches 217,000 unduplicated Households each week!* Coverage: More than 97% of all homes have access to broadcast television. However, cable television only reaches 60% in the Montgomery trade area. In addition, broadcast television still retains almost 60% of the viewing audience, leaving dozens of cable channels fighting for the rest and you can't buy ads on all of those channels or cable systems. The single best way to reach a mass audience is with a carefully planned broadcast television schedule on the most watched station in Central Alabama - WSFA 12 News. Impact: Television advertising blends sight, sound, color, motion and emotion to have the greatest impact on potential customers. Well produced ads can actually become topics of conversation. When was the last time you discussed, or much less remembered, a newspaper ad? What's your favorite radio commercial? Now think of all the television commercials you remember from years gone by. If I say "Don't Squeeze the...." what would you say? What about the now famous "AFLAC" duck? And do you actually watch the Super Bowl for the game, or the commercials? Television campaigns have the ability to live for years and become part of everyday society. Your well produced commercial will create that "Top of Mind Awareness" that is crucial in today's competitive marketplace. This "Top of Mind Awareness" will help you to reach and influence more of your potential customers, increasing name and product awareness, and most importantly, increase store traffic. wsfa.com: Our web site reaches over 838,000* unique users each month! Our online demographic skews users on the web at work who are getting their local news & weather from 7am-6pm daily. WSFA 12 provides our clients with web ad creative assistance as well as web page development to meet your advertising needs. All ads are linkable and trackable. We also stream video clips on our web site on demand where your commercial can run before our videos. Your commercial on our station, plus a link to your web site on wsfa.com is the perfect convergence tool to reach your key audience at home and at work! (*WebTrends, January ‘14)

Too slow to load

I have been a big fan of wsfa's apps in the past, but this version takes too long to load. It is frustrating to use, or attempt to use.

Too hard to change over, still full of ads

Change over from first version is difficult, too many ads, not user friendly.

Live streaming

Since the update, I've had issues with live streaming to Apple TV. The app disconnects after about 5-7 minutes.

Bad update

I check this app every day just for the local news. Now I don't have that option. It is more visual but if I can't just read local news, I'll probably delete it to save space. Update: I found the mostly local section but the articles aren't dated anymore so I can't tell what's new. I also cannot read the restaurant ratings because the screen won't rotate like it used to.

It's a good app, I use it daily.
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
