CBC is a bold, future-thinking company, transforming media, entertainment & communities.
Locally-owned and community-focused, we emphasize excellence, integrity and teamwork in everything we do.
The roots of Capitol Broadcasting Company date back to 1937 when Raleigh attorney A.J. Fletcher and four partners formed a company so they could compete in the growing business of broadcasting.
A year later, the Federal Communications Commission authorized the license for WRAL-AM, and Capitol Broadcasting Company was off and running.
Over the next seven decades CBC would establish itself as one of the most respected and innovative communications companies in the nation. The company that started with one tiny radio station has expanded its broadcast holdings and diversified into new media, real estate and professional sports.
Decades ago, CBC’s founders had industry foresight and the courage to act. They were the pioneers who took risks that ultimately paid off.
We continue to benefit from our current leadership team who set high standards, cultivate excellence and innovation, and continue our success.
We greatly value our diverse, talented family of employees and the culture of community we foster.
Social Responsibility
A successful community goes hand in hand with a successful company.
Localism and community care is in our DNA and is the lifeblood of why we do what we do. We invest in the communities we serve. We’re obsessively customer-focused. We never forget there’s a person, family, and community behind everything we do.
Genuine public service is at the very heart of what we do at CBC. Our divisions have collected winter coats for children in need, raised money for those affected by natural disasters and hosted live music events that bring people from all backgrounds together. Whether we’re raising money with our annual Radiothon for Duke Children’s Hospital or partnering to bring World of Bluegrass to our city or even rappelling 30 stories down the side of a building to support Special Olympics—CBC believes in engaging with our communities to deliver a positive community impact.
