'''WSSF-LP''' 48 was a station commonly owned with WSFG-LD.

In 2008 both stations, despite their LPTV status, successfully forced their programming onto West Alabama TV Cable, a local [[cable television]] provider in [[Hamilton, Alabama|Hamilton]]-[[Winfield, Alabama|Winfield]]-[[Fayette, Alabama]], by using the [[terrestrial loophole]] in federal [[must-carry]] regulations which allow "qualified LPTV stations" to obtain mandatory cable carriage normally reserved for full-power stations.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-08-2645A1.txt |title=MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER| access-date=2023-09-17}}</ref> The use of this provision is based on a claim that no full-power station serves Fayette County, that the community is not part of any of the 160 largest [[metropolitan statistical area]]s and that the stations meet specific technical criteria (such as signal coverage and number of hours of programming) which apply to full-service stations seeking carriage.

WSSF-LP's license was cancelled by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] on September 9, 2013, due to the station failing to file an application for license renewal.
