WYED
1988–1994
WNCN originally signed on the air in 1988 as WYED, an independent station owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group, their first and only television station in their history. In 1994, the station was sold to the Outlet Company.
WNCN
1995–1996
The station joined The WB network in January 1995 upon its launch. At the same time, it changed its call letters to the current WNCN, which stood for North Carolina's News. The WB affiliation did not last long. In September of that year, it became the new NBC affiliate for the Raleigh area, replacing WRDC, which joined UPN. The WB meanwhile, went to newly-launched WRAZ.
1996–2000
In 1996, the station was sold (with the other Outlet stations) to NBC, and WNCN became an NBC owned-and-operated station.
2000–2005
2005–2013
In 2006, NBC Universal sold the station to Media General.
2013–2016
In 2013, the station retired the "NBC 17" brand, adopting their call sign as their primary on-air branding.
