WNCH

WNCH is the TCN affiliate serving the Wilmington, North Carolina area. It is owned by Confection Broadcasting.
== History ==
WNCH first signed on the air on May 15, 1990, as WXGZ (these call letters would later be used by the YesNet O&O in Appleton, Wisconsin). It was an independent station, broadcasting a mix of cartoons, talk shows, and sitcoms. 
The station became an affiliate of the new United Paramount Network and was sold to the Paramount Stations Group (by original owner Grant Communications). A 10 p.m. newscast, UPN 3 News, was added. This expanded to weekends in 1997.
In May 2000, Paramount Stations Group merged with CBS' owned-and-operated station division, forming the Viacom Television Stations Group, which became the new owner of WXGZ. Morning and 6:30 p.m. newscasts were introduced the following month.
On April 9, 2005, the station was sold to Confection Broadcasting and became a TCN affiliate. The call letters were changed to WNCH.
Current syndicated programming seen on WNCH includes Access Hollywood, Inside Edition, and People are Talking.
