Charlotte, NC, September 24, 2026 —

WCNC Charlotte, a local television station, has introduced new early morning news programming. The station is now broadcasting news at 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.

This expansion of the morning news schedule means that viewers in the Charlotte area will have access to local news coverage earlier in the day. The specific details regarding the format or content of these new broadcasts were not provided in the information available. Further information about the programming, such as whether these are extensions of existing shows or entirely new segments, has not been disclosed.

The addition of these early broadcast times could potentially serve a segment of the population that starts their day very early. This move by WCNC Charlotte places its news coverage directly into a time slot that might typically be occupied by syndicated programming or other station formats.

The exact nature of the content being aired at these new times, including the specific anchors or reporters involved, has not been detailed. Information about the duration of these specific 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. newscasts is also not available. As the station implements this schedule change, the full scope and impact on its overall programming lineup will become clearer over time. The station’s decision to air news at these specific hours marks a notable adjustment to its daily broadcast schedule.
