WCNC (NBC Charlotte)
U.S. center / mainstream local TV
WCNC is Charlotte, North Carolina's NBC affiliate, owned by Nexstar Media Group after its acquisition of former parent Tegna closed in March 2026. It is a mainstream local television station centered on Charlotte-area news, weather, traffic, and sports. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has been largely straight local-impact reporting, without a strong editorial voice for or against administration policies.
Owned byNexstar Media Group (acquired from Tegna Inc. in March 2026 for approximately $6.2 billion; a federal court injunction issued April 2026 temporarily bars full integration, so WCNC and other former-Tegna stations continue operating with day-to-day management autonomy under Nexstar ownership)
