WTNC-LD

<h2 id="history">History</h2>

<p>The station originally signed on in early 1997 as W59CR from a tower near the corner of <a href="/facts/NC_98/48HFmgx3">NC 98</a> and <a href="/facts/U.S._Route_70_in_North_Carolina/FHJomBe1">US 70 By-Pass</a> in East Durham. Broadcasting then on channel 59, the station rebroadcast WACN-LP (channel 34) from <a href="/facts/Apex,_North_Carolina/n0IJDjWq">Apex</a>, a Christian TV station. The call letters changed to WIWW-LP in late 1997.
</p><p>When <a href="/facts/WUNC-TV/VBScpt1N">WUNC-TV</a> needed UHF channel 59 for digital, WIWW vacated the channel for UHF 26 on the <a href="/facts/WNCU/X73elDR6">WNCU</a> tower off Rose of Sharon Road in northwest Durham. It was <a href="/facts/Home_shopping/lVvr5vzw">home shopping</a> for a while, then dark, then Telefutura (now UniMás).
</p><p>In 2007, WTNC began simulcasting as a digital subchannel of sister station WUVC-TV in Fayetteville and other southern regions of the viewing area. In 2010, WTNC switched to digital broadcasting.
