WNCN, virtual and UHF digital channel 17, is a CBS-affiliated television station that is licensed to Goldsboro, North Carolina, United States, and serves North Carolina's Triangle region. Owned by Nexstar Media Group, the station has studios located on Front Street in North Raleigh, and its transmitter is located in Auburn. Neither the channel number nor the call letters are prominent in the station branding, rather the station is known predominantly as CBS North Carolina, a branding that has persisted since joining CBS in March 2016.
On cable, the station is carried on Charter Spectrum channel 6 in Raleigh; channel 2 in Durham and Chapel Hill; channel 10 in Wilson, Fayetteville and Southern Pines; channel 13 in Goldsboro; channel 9 in Carrboro; and channel 7 in most other places, including Cary. In recent years, WNCN has been carried on cable in multiple areas within the Greensboro–High Point–Winston-Salem and Greenville–New Bern–Washington markets.
