WECT
U.S. center (local NBC affiliate, corporate owner leans center-right)
WECT is an NBC-affiliated local television station in Wilmington, North Carolina, owned by Gray Media, one of the three largest broadcast TV conglomerates in the United States. Its coverage is focused on local Wilmington-area news, weather, and community affairs rather than national political commentary. Gray Media's CEO Hilton Howell Jr. has publicly expressed support for Donald Trump and Elon Musk, but independent assessments of Gray's DC Bureau rate it as factually reliable and minimally biased in its news output.
Owned byGray Media (formerly Gray Television), a publicly traded broadcast conglomerate headquartered in Atlanta, GA; Gray acquired WECT when it bought Raycom Media in January 2019 for approximately $3.6 billion
