Capitol Broadcasting made a big announcement on Friday, January 15, 2016. WRAL-TV will be returning to its original network, NBC, on February 29th. After 30 years as the CBS affiliate in the Raleigh-Durham market, WRAL-TV realizes the change will mean changes in the national programs our viewers will find on the Big 5.

The WRAL News and all our staff will remain the same.  You’ll still be able to tune in to WRAL-TV and FOX 50 for the leading newscasts in the Triangle.  Plain and simple…WRAL-TV stays home. Same people. Same channel.

We understand our viewers probably have questions, and, as always, WRAL is here to help:

• WRAL.com – FAQ: NBC moves to WRAL
• Lynda Loveland talks to Gene & Julie on WRAL-FM about the change

WRAL-TV Anchor David Crabtree sat down with CBC President & CEO Jim Goodmon live on Facebook on Monday afternoon, answering questions posted by viewers:
