Notes:
- 1. Virtual channel (PSIP).
- 2. WCIQ used the callsign WEDM (EDucational Munford) from January to March 1955, and then WTIQ (the T standing for Talladega) to 1959. Also, the station's city of license was previously Munford (near Cheaha Mountain), and later, Mount Cheaha State Park, where the station's transmitter (and mountain) is located. Because the tower is located in Cleburne County, Nielsen Media Research (and therefore the FCC) considers the station to be a part of the Atlanta, Georgia media market.
- 3. WDIQ used the callsign WAIQ (the A standing for Andalusia) from its 1956 sign-on to 1961. This station's city of license was Andalusia from its 1956 sign-on to 1962.
- 4. The Broadcasting and Cable Yearbook says WEIQ signed on November 6, while the Television and Cable Factbook says it signed on November 18.
- 5. The Broadcasting and Cable Yearbook says WFIQ signed on August 16, while the Television and Cable Factbook says it signed on August 9.
- 6. The Broadcasting and Cable Yearbook says WHIQ signed on November 8, while the Television and Cable Factbook says it signed on November 15.
- 7. WIIQ signed on this date according to the Broadcasting and Cable Yearbook and some other sources. However, the Television and Cable Factbook says WIIQ signed on for the first time on September 13, 1970. WIIQ can be seen over the air in some areas of East Central Mississippi. (Ironically, Nielsen Marketing Research places the station as part of the Meridian Television market which covers two counties in West Central Alabama. The WIIQ tower is located in Marengo County, Alabama. Marengo County is assigned to the Montgomery television market.)
- 8. WBIQ and WCIQ returned to their original VHF channel assignments at the end of the digital switchover as the corresponding UHF DTV installations are on channels which went out-of-band after 2009. There have also been issues with inability (or prohibitive cost) to provide coverage to the original WBIQ viewing area on these higher frequencies.

Famous quotes containing the word stations:
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.”
—William Jones (1746–1794)
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
