The North Carolina State Fair draws to a close this weekend, but loyal CBC television and radio fans still have a chance to come out and visit. WRAL-TV, FOX 50, WRAL-FM MIX 101.5 and WCMC-FM 99.9 are all represented in the CBC tent just outside Dorton Arena in the fairgrounds.

A Surprise Star
 WRAL-TV Promotion Coordinator Debbie Strange (pictured left with WRAL-TV News Anchor Bill Leslie) always works hard in the CBC tent come Fair time. She works behind the scenes at the station usually, but this year has become a celebrity in her own right. Many viewers are recognizing her in the CBC tent from her role in the “Wake Up With Friends” morning news promo. |
