WITN

U.S. local news, center / mostly non-ideological (corporate owner with right-leaning leadership)

WITN is the NBC affiliate for eastern North Carolina, owned by Gray Media, a large publicly traded station group. Its coverage is mostly local news, weather and community stories, with little opinion content. Its recent posture toward the Trump administration looks mostly neutral. I did not review its recent stories in detail, so that rating rests on the station's local format and general reputation.

Owned byGray Media (formerly Gray Television), a publicly traded Atlanta-based broadcaster. Gray has owned WITN since 1997.
