News 14 Carolina is a 24-hour news service offered in North Carolina, USA, by Time Warner Cable. There are News 14 Carolina channels in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, and Wilmington each primarily with local content but some content of statewide interest is shared. A regular feature is "Weather on the Ones", which gives a local weather forecast every ten minutes.
Their Piedmont Triad channel debuted on September 25, 2006. They launched Wilmington on August 18th, 2008.
History
News 14 Carolina was not the first local 24-hour news channel in the Raleigh area. WRAL-TV started a news channel on the Time Warner Cable digital tier in July 2001.
Time Warner planned to debut the 24-hour local news channel in December 2001 in Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville, and Goldsboro, reaching 425,000 subscribers. After the September 11 attacks, Alan Mason, the channel's general manager, said the debut would happen in February or March 2002. This was because the station's employees needed training that would have taken place at new studios for NY1 in New York City, but NY1 was concentrating on coverage of the attacks and had not yet moved into its new studios[1]. News 14 Carolina finally made its debut March 22, 2002. Reporters used digital cameras instead of videotape, downloading their stories. Sets, however, looked similar to those at conventional TV stations[2].
Plans were made to add Charlotte and eight surrounding counties in June[3].
On February 26, 2004, members of TheWolfWeb exploited the fact that the station's system for reporting school, business, or church closures during inclement weather were aired without review. Numerous listings ranging from All Your Base Are Belong To Us to several lewd or obscene "businesses" were listed and shown several times. The incident garnered attention from online, print, and broadcast media across the US.[4] [5] [6]
