Charlotte, NC, August 11, 2026 —

WCNC Charlotte has updated its morning broadcast schedule to include news programming at 4:30 a.m. and 5 a.m.

The local news station, serving the Charlotte metropolitan area, is now offering earlier access to news updates for its viewers.

The specific content and focus of these earlier broadcasts were not detailed. It is common for early morning news programs to provide a summary of overnight events, local news, weather forecasts, and traffic information to help commuters and early risers start their day.

The network’s decision to add these time slots may reflect a strategy to capture a broader audience segment seeking news information at the earliest available times.

Further details regarding any changes to other programming blocks or the specific editorial direction for the new morning slots were not immediately available.
