WDPM-DT (channel 18) is areligious television station licensed toMobile, Alabama, United States, serving southwest Alabama and northwest Florida as anowned-and-operated station of theDaystar Television Network. The station's transmitter is located nearRobertsdale, Alabama.
The station signed on after the analog signal ofPBS member stationWSRE (channel 23) signed off for the last time on February 17, 2009.
Since the "channel 23.1" series ofvirtual channel designations already identifies the existing PBS station'sdigital subchannels, this numbering sequence would not be available to the new station. According to theATSC standard, WDPM-DT's channel numbers would therefore need to be displayed using numbering based on WSRE's digital channel number, 31.[2] From sign-on until February 2010, the station displayed as channel 4.1, which is considered a violation of these standards.
The station's signal ismultiplexed:

| 18.1 | 1080i | 16:9 | WDPM-DT | Daystar |
| 18.2 | 720p | WDPM-ES | Daystar Español | |
