The group's affiliation deal with Fox allowed New World to solve its ownership conflicts in Birmingham, as it chose to establish and transfer the license of WBRC into a <a href="/wiki/Trust_company" title="Trust company">trust company</a> with the intent to sell the station to the network's broadcasting subsidiary, <a href="/wiki/Fox_Television_Stations" title="Fox Television Stations">Fox Television Stations</a>; the trust transfer was completed on July 24, 1995. </p><p>Although the transfer of WBRC to the trust was finalized on July 24, 1995, Fox could not switch WBRC's network affiliation in the short-term, as the station's contract with ABC would not expire until August 31, 1996. While this forced Fox Television Stations to operate WBRC as an ABC affiliate for 8½ months after its purchase of the station from the New World-established trust closed on January 17, 1996, creating the rare situation in which a station was run by the owned-and-operated station group of one network but maintained an affiliation with one of its competitors, it gave ABC enough time to find a new central Alabama affiliate. The network first approached WTTO for an affiliation agreement. However, Sinclair—which would not own any stations affiliated with either of the <a href="/wiki/Big_Three_television_networks" class="mw-redirect" title="Big Three television networks">Big Three</a> networks until it acquired <a href="/wiki/River_City_Broadcasting" title="River City Broadcasting">River City Broadcasting</a> in 1996—was only willing to carry ABC's prime time and <a href="/wiki/ABC_News_(United_States)" title="ABC News (United States)">news</a> programming, as it was not interested in carrying the network's then-languishing daytime and Saturday morning programs. Even though WDBB operated a news department at the time negotiations with ABC began, Sinclair was also not willing to start a news department for WTTO; the group did not allocate a budget for news production for its non-Big Three stations at the time. </p><p>Unlike situations in <a href="/wiki/KDNL-TV" title="KDNL-TV">St. Louis</a> and the <a href="/wiki/WXLV-TV" title="WXLV-TV">Piedmont Triad</a>, where the network had little other choice but to align with a Sinclair-owned station (or one that the group would later acquire) due to a lack of another financially secure full-power station, other options were available in the Birmingham market. After turning down the WTTO offer in late 1995, ABC reached an agreement with <a href="/wiki/Allbritton_Communications" title="Allbritton Communications">Allbritton Communications</a> to affiliate with WCFT in November of that year; Allbritton planned to acquire the non-license assets of WNAL-TV under a local marketing agreement and convert it into a satellite of WCFT-TV. Allbritton would later terminate the proposed LMA with WNAL and entered into an LMA with Osborne Communications Corporation to take over the operations of WJSU-TV; it also purchased <a href="/wiki/Low-power_broadcasting#Television" title="Low-power broadcasting">low-power</a> independent station W58CK (channel 58, now <a href="/wiki/WBMA-LD" title="WBMA-LD">WBMA-LD</a>) to serve as the official ABC affiliate for central Alabama for the purpose of being counted in the Birmingham station ratings reports (as <a href="/wiki/Nielsen_Media_Research" title="Nielsen Media Research">Nielsen</a> designated Tuscaloosa and Anniston as separate markets at the time), with WCFT and WJSU serving as its satellites; this prompted Allbritton to sign a groupwide affiliation deal with ABC which renewed the network's affiliations with its stations in <a href="/wiki/KATV" title="KATV">Little Rock</a>, <a href="/wiki/KTUL" title="KTUL">Tulsa</a>, <a href="/wiki/WHTM" class="mw-redirect" title="WHTM">Harrisburg</a>, <a href="/wiki/WSET-TV" title="WSET-TV">Roanoke</a>, and <a href="/wiki/WJLA" class="mw-redirect" title="WJLA">Washington, D.C.</a> and caused the company's stations in <a href="/wiki/WGWG" title="WGWG">Charleston</a> and <a href="/wiki/WPXC-TV" title="WPXC-TV">Brunswick, Georgia</a> to switch to the network.<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On September 1, 1996, when WBRC-TV officially became a Fox owned-and-operated station and W58CK/WCFT/WJSU became an ABC affiliate, WTTO and WDBB reverted to operating as independent stations. Simultaneously, WNAL formally terminated the WTTO simulcast, and became the CBS affiliate for Gadsden and northeastern Alabama. WBRC originally planned to carry the entire Fox network schedule, running the <a href="/wiki/Fox_Kids" title="Fox Kids">Fox Kids</a> block on weekday afternoons to replace the displaced ABC <a href="/wiki/Soap_opera" title="Soap opera">soap opera</a> lineup upon its move to the W58CK trimulcast (which would be collectively known as "ABC 33/40", a brand referencing the respective channel numbers of WCFT and WJSU, and will mostly be referred to hereafter in the article as "WBMA+"). However, in what would be the catalyst to a change in the carriage policies for Fox Kids that allowed stations the option of either airing the block or being granted the right to transfer the rights to another station in the market, Sinclair approached WBRC about allowing WTTO to retain Fox Kids, which the Fox network (on behalf of Fox Television Stations) allowed it to keep. </p><p>On January 27, 1997, WTTO and WDBB became affiliates of <a href="/wiki/The_WB_Television_Network" class="mw-redirect" title="The WB Television Network">The WB Television Network</a>, and changed its on-air branding to "WB 21".<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was one of the first Sinclair stations to affiliate with the network, occurring six months before the group struck an agreement to affiliate most of its <a href="/wiki/UPN" title="UPN">UPN</a>-affiliated and independent stations that it either owned or controlled to The WB on July 21.<sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Prior to that point, Birmingham had been one of the largest markets that was not served by a local WB affiliate; central Alabama residents were only able to receive WB programs on <a href="/wiki/Satellite_television" title="Satellite television">satellite</a> and some cable providers through the <a href="/wiki/NewsNation" title="NewsNation">national superstation feed</a> of the network's <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> affiliate, <a href="/wiki/WGN-TV" title="WGN-TV">WGN-TV</a> (now an independent station; its cable feed now operates as a standalone channel), which carried the network's programming nationwide from The WB's launch in January 1995 until October 1999.<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>44<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>With the WB affiliation, WTTO added one of Fox Kids' competitors, <a href="/wiki/Kids%27_WB" title="Kids' WB">Kids' WB</a>, to its inventory of children's programming.
