WECT is the NBC-affiliated local news station for Wilmington, North Carolina, owned by Gray Media, one of the country's largest local-TV station groups. Like most local affiliates, it focuses on regional news, weather, and sports rather than national political commentary, giving it a mostly neutral posture toward the Trump administration.
