U.S. center-left
WFAE (Charlotte) is owned by an independent nonprofit; WUNC (Chapel Hill) is managed by a university-affiliated nonprofit tied to UNC Chapel Hill. Both are NPR member stations funded mainly by listener contributions and corporate underwriting; federal CPB support was eliminated by Congress in 2025 after the Trump administration moved to defund public broadcasting. Their coverage, consistent with NPR's center-left editorial orientation, has leaned broadly critical of the Trump administration's policies.
Owned byWFAE (Charlotte, 90.7 FM) is owned by University Radio Foundation, Inc., an independent nonprofit. WUNC (Chapel Hill, 91.5 FM) is licensed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and managed by WUNC Public Radio LLC, a university-affiliated nonprofit whose nine-member board is appointed largely by UNC trustees.
