History
Originally licensed to be low power W59CR, the station signed on in late 1997 as WIWW-LP from a tower near the corner of NC 98 and US 70 By-Pass in East Durham. Broadcasting then on channel 59, the station rebroadcast WACN-LP 34 from Apex, a Christian TV station. When WUNC-TV needed UHF channel 59 for digital, WIWW vacated the channel for UHF 26 on the WNCU tower off Rose of Sharon Road in NW Durham. It was home shopping for a while, then dark, then Telefutura (now UniMás). In 2007, WTNC began simulcasting as a digital subchannel of sister-station WUVC-TV in Fayetteville and other southern regions of the viewing area. In 2010 WTNC switched to digital broadcasting.
