WMCF-TV (channel 45) is a religious television station in Montgomery, Alabama, United States, owned and operated by the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). The station's transmitter is located near Sevenmile Creek, on the east side of Montgomery.

The station formerly operated from a studio located on Mendel Parkway West in Montgomery. That facility was one of several closed by TBN in 2019 following the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s repeal of the "Main Studio Rule", which required full-service television stations like WMCF-TV to maintain facilities in or near their communities of license.{{cite news|url=https://charismamag.com/blogs/the-strang-report/how-trump-s-new-regulation-cuts-will-save-tbn-20-million-a-year-for-gospel-purposes/|work=Charisma|first=Steve|last=Strang|date=July 15, 2019|title=How Trump's New Regulation Cuts Will Save TBN $20 Million a Year for Gospel Purposes|access-date=March 8, 2023|archive-date=August 12, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812185214/https://charismamag.com/blogs/the-strang-report/how-trump-s-new-regulation-cuts-will-save-tbn-20-million-a-year-for-gospel-purposes/|url-status=live}}
