Digital
WABW's broadcasts are digital-only, effective (as originally scheduled) on February 17, 2009.
WABW's digital signal was slated to operate on channel 5 and transmit from the WCTV tower in Metcalf, Georgia, near the Georgia/Florida border. After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion was completed, WABW's digital broadcasts remained on channel 6 (after WCTV's analog signal ended on 6) and transmits from WABW's current analog tower in Pelham. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers will continue to display WABW's virtual channel as 14.1.
