# CBS 42 ## About CBS 42 has been serving the Birmingham area with straight news and weather for years. The team focuses on stories that hit close to home like traffic, schools, and city hall decisions. Reporters get out every day to cover breaking events and talk to people on the ground. Viewers count on the station for accurate forecasts when storms roll through Alabama. The website pulls together live video, photo galleries, and quick updates so folks can stay informed on their phones. Advertising from local businesses keeps the operation running while the newsroom stays independent. Over time the station added streaming options and a stronger digital team to reach younger audiences. Community partnerships help highlight charity drives and high school sports that matter in the metro. The morning and evening shows still draw solid numbers because people like seeing familiar faces deliver the facts. Investigative pieces on local government waste or business practices have led to real changes in policy. Staff size sits around 80 people including photographers, producers, and sales. Revenue comes mostly from commercials and some digital sponsorships rather than big national grants. The company stays privately held with no outside investors pushing for clicks over substance. Competitors include other local TV sites and the big newspaper portal that covers the same patch. Growth
