The Alabama Cable Network (ACN) was a cable television channel founded in 1981 in Dora by Don Earley.

Earley, a sales agent for the Burlington Northern Railroad, built the production company from the ground up with broadcasts of Dora High School football games as its flagship product. At its peak, the station, called "Your Community Channel", reached 600 individual subscribers in Dora and Sumiton.

Earley sold the business to Kirk Wood, who rebranded it as College Sports Southeast (CSS or CSSE) in 1998. The company had offices at 3447 Lorna Lane in Hoover.

The station failed in 2001 following scuttled deals with Clemson University and with HealthSouth. Earley and partner John Connor Sr purchased the network's assets at liquidation auction. He resumed covering local high school sports via his WOTM-TV low-power broadcast station, which was picked up by Charter Communications.
