WMBB (channel 13) is a television station in Panama City, Florida, United States, affiliated with ABC.

Owned by Nexstar Media Group, the station maintains studios on Harrison Avenue/US 231 in downtown Panama City, and its transmitter is located in unincorporated Youngstown along the Bay–Calhoun county line.

At the time, WMBB's transmitter was in Frink, Calhoun County, well over fifty miles (80 km) away from Tallahassee at approximately 30°22′9″N 85°12′29″W / 30.36917°N 85.20806°W / 30.36917; -85.20806.

In addition, many viewers in the capital city already received NBC from Albany, Georgia's WALB which provided a better signal to the area.

Unexpectedly at 2:03 p.m. Central Time on May 18, 1989, an Air Force F-15 fighter jet clipped a wire at WMBB's Frink tower.

This allowed for better viewing of the station in the western half of the market including the rapidly growing southern Walton County area and Destin.

In 1993, WMBB was one of several ABC affiliates that refused to clear the police procedural drama NYPD Blue, carrying syndicated sitcoms instead under the orders of the station's general manager, Hugh Roche, over indecency concerns.

This caught the eye of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) because of the common ownership of a newspaper and television station in the same market.

[8] WMBB made history during Hurricane Dennis in July 2005 when it became the first station in Panama City to broadcast live storm coverage over the internet.

On July 21, 2011, WMBB announced on its Facebook page that it would add another newscast starting September 12, News 13 Midday, that runs from 11 a.m. until noon each weekday.
