WWAY-TV (Wilmington, NC)
WWAY became the second television station in Wilmington on October 30, 1964. Founded by a group of local businessmen under Cape Fear Telecasting, WWAY has been affiliated with ABC since its inception. Initially, the station operated from the 10th floor of the Murchison Building in downtown Wilmington, offering stunning views of the city, Brunswick County, and the Battleship North Carolina across the Cape Fear River. In late 1969, WWAY relocated to a new facility a few blocks north on Front Street, marking the beginning of redevelopment in the northern part of downtown. In 2018, WWAY made another move to its current location in Magnolia Greens, just off US 17 in Leland. WWAY provides coverage to New Hanover, Brunswick, Bladen, Columbus, and Pender Counties. The Wilmington Designated Market Area (DMA) is ranked 129th, serving over 190,000 television households.

BURLINGTON, N.C. (WWAY) — What will be remembered as a historic and tremendous year for Laney baseball ended two wins shy of a title after falling to T.C. Roberson in the Class 4A baseball championship series in two games. The Rams beat the Bucs 12-0 in game one in six innings. Then they won 8-7 in game two to take home their third consecutive state championship. After sleeping off a bad opening loss Friday night, Laney was motivated going into Saturday’s game two.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — In Raleigh, several bills about PFAS, or forever chemicals, are making their way through the General Assembly. House Bill 569 is sponsored by Representatives Ted Davis and Frank Iler. The bill would hold PFAS polluters, like Chemours, financially liable for cleanup costs. It passed the House earlier this month and has been referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Operations after passing a “first reading” in that chamber.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — In New Hanover County, commissioners are concerned about budget issues, particularly a change to the county’s tax rate. Some commissioners want to move the property tax rate down from 45 cents per $100 of value to just under 34 cents. But that might not help homeowners, since a re-evaluation of properties in January led to the average value of homes in the county going up by more than 50 percent.
