WKAB-TV was a television station on channel 48 in Mobile, Alabama, United States. It was the first television station to broadcast in Mobile, operating from December 1952 to August 1954. As a UHF television station it was at a severe competitive disadvantage to the VHF station—WALA-TV—which started up in Mobile at the same time causing WKAB-TV to lose money and eventually fold.
