In the Montgomery, AL, market, three of the four local stations are tangled up with each other through ownership or partnership agreements.  ABC affiliate WNCF and CBS affiliate WAKA are owned and/or operated by Bahakel Communications while WAKA produces the news for FOX affiliate WCOV.

If you look at the story selection, stacking of the show and even on-air talent between WAKA and WCOV it shows. Watch WNCF and the stories look like they were shot by the same photojournalist who shot the FOX and CBS affiliate’s stories.
