WUVC-DT, virtual channel 40 (UHF digital channel 38), is a Univision owned-and-operated television station that is licensed to Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States. Owned by Univision Communications, it primarily serves North Carolina's Triangle region, though it also targets Charlotte. WUVC's studios are located on Falls of Neuse Road in Raleigh, while its transmitter is located near Broadway.
WUVC is shown on Charter Spectrum channel 8 in Fayetteville, Raleigh, Carrboro, and most other areas of the Triangle, channel 2 in Cary, Garner, Clayton and Smithfield, channel 11 in Durham and Chapel Hill, and channel 63 in Charlotte and the surrounding area.
Channel 40 had its beginnings in Fayetteville as WKFT-TV, the first independent station in eastern North Carolina. It received a construction permit on July 22, 1980, and went on the air less than a year later on June 1, 1981. WKFT first operated from the old First Union Bank on the corner of Donaldson and Russell Streets in downtown Fayetteville and transmitted its signal from a 750-foot (229 m) tower in unincorporated Cumberland County on Cliffdale Road, with 1.54 million watts of power (the tower site has since been annexed into Fayetteville).
