  • A World Wide Web site attributed to WALA-TV had an article concerning an investigation attributed to the local news operation at WALA-TV in which a name normally used in reference to the news operation of a national cable TV and satellite TV programming service named the FOX News Channel ("FOX News") appeared to had been used in reference to the one for their own broadcast operation as part of its title ("State of Alabama DMV Selling your personal info, FOX News investigation finds").** 
  • A World Wide Web site attributed to WABF-AM had a recording of one of their radio hosts (Lori DuBose) on a local radio program of theirs ("Community Contact") claiming she was not part of a certain type of ceremony usually held in their local broadcast area on a yearly basis for the first time in ten years (the recording appeared to had been dated for the Friday of the seventeenth day of this November based on the way it was listed on the site along with others like it (most of them were listed with groups of numbers like "11 17 2017" (the numbers for the recording mentioned earlier)).***

(*a Facebook page attributed to a sports reporter for the local news operation at WALA-TV named Bri MacNaught appeared to have a recording of the part of the program dedicated to sports involving the texts (note: the texts appeared near the end of the recording))

(***the news operation for WALA-TV was usually called "FOX 10 News" in some of the news programming it had in recent times).
