2016 WRAL Tower Lighting
Cinderella was on hand for the 2016 WRAL tower lighting on Thursday, December 1st, alongside WRAL-TV Anchors David Crabtree (left) & Debra Morgan & Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel.

WRAL-TV’s tower became a beacon for the holidays as is annual tradition on Thursday, December 1, 2016.  The first day of December always marks the WRAL Tower Lighting.  WRAL-TV Anchors Debra Morgan & David Crabtree hosted the event alongside WRAL-TV Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel during the newcasts between 5:00-6:30pm.  The 58th Annual Tower Lighting did not require the traditional switch box this year.  Cinderella appeared as a special guest and brought the Fairy Godmother’s wand for Crabtree to use to bring the tower to light.

The Capital Ambassadors provided musical entertainment in Studio A, performing holiday selections for the newscasts.

The 300-foot tower will remain lit each evening through New Year’s Day.
