WSOC-TV

U.S. mostly neutral (local TV news)

WSOC-TV is Charlotte, North Carolina's ABC affiliate, owned by Cox Media Group, a large private broadcaster that also publishes the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Like most local TV news operations, its coverage centers on local news, weather, and consumer investigations rather than national political commentary. Cox Enterprises' corporate political giving has historically leaned more toward Democrats than Republicans, but this has not translated into a discernible partisan slant in WSOC's day-to-day local reporting.

Owned byCox Media Group (a subsidiary of Atlanta-based Cox Enterprises), operated as a duopoly with independent station WAXN-TV
