WRAZ, virtual channel 50 (UHF digital channel 49), is a Fox-affiliated television station licensed to Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. The station is owned by the Capitol Broadcasting Company, as part of a duopoly with NBC affiliate and company flagship WRAL-TV (channel 5). The two stations share studios on Western Boulevard in Raleigh, and WRAZ's transmitter is located near Auburn along US 70 Business in Clayton. The station can also be seen on Charter Spectrum channel 13 and in high definition on digital channel 1150.
A construction permit to build a television station in Raleigh on UHF channel 50 was originally owned by The Reverend James Layton's Tar Heel Broadcasting. Layton entered the under-construction station, originally known as WACN, into a local marketing agreement (LMA) with the Capitol Broadcasting Company, under which the station would be run out of WRAL's studios with transmission facilities on the WRAL tower near Auburn.
