WFAE
U.S. center to center-left (NPR-affiliated public radio)
WFAE is the main NPR news station for the Charlotte region. It is owned by a community-run nonprofit and paid for mainly by listeners and sponsors. Its news coverage is conventional, fact-based public-radio reporting, and it covers the Trump administration mainly through local and regional effects, such as funding cuts, immigration enforcement and policy. I did not review a large sample of its recent stories, so this is a general assessment.
Owned byLicensed to University Radio Foundation, Inc., an independent nonprofit in Charlotte, North Carolina, run by a community board. It began as a UNC Charlotte student station, and the university handed control to the nonprofit in 1993. It is an NPR member station.
