Coverage

The station used to have a repeater, W50CF in Mobile, Alabama, which broadcasted on analog channel 50. The translator is now home to a low-powered station run by Word of Life Community Church in Chickasaw, Alabama. When WFGX moves its signal from its current location in Gulf Breeze, Florida to sister station's WEAR tower located off CR 64 near Robertsdale, Alabama, W50CF must sign off so it does not interfere (since WFGX will broadcast digitally on channel 50.) W50CF has applied to the FCC to move to Channel 6.

DirecTV carried the station on the Mobile-Pensacola-Fort Walton local channel package up until 2009 when it was dropped, but resumed carrying the channel in April 2012.
