== History ==
=== As a MyTV station ===
On July 10, 2017, it was announced that MyTV would expand from two hours a night to three hours a night, which would push affiliates that also have Ion Television affiliates to cut Ion's time further. Independence Broadcasting (which owned dual affiliate WAXC) made the announcement that they would be dropping MyTV from their Ion Television affiliates and become full-time Ion Television affiliates. MyTV, Inc. and Independence made a deal to give the network time to find new affiliates for MyTV in the markets that would be affected by Independence's decision, and as a result, it was decided that WQNC would be the new MyTV affiliate on Sept. 18, 2017, and WAXC would be a full-time Ion Television affiliate. At midnight on Sept. 11, 2017, WQNC became the new MyTV affiliate in Charlotte. 
=== As an Horizon O&O station ===
Following the news of MyTV converting as a cable-based channel, Garnett Communications announced plans of closing the station down. The station's final day was August 13, 2023. The licenses for the station were acquired by Flower Television, but on September 6th, 2023, Horizon, Inc. announced the purchase of WQNC and WAIA-TV from Flower as part of an affiliation deal, with it being approved by Gannett beforehand. The deal between Horizon, Gannett, and Flower was completed the following day. The deal included a recently launched network, "The Pride Network," that would be affiliated with both stations as a subchannel. This marked Horizon's first two duopoly stations in its portfolio.
WQNC would be relaunched on September 11th, 2023. The station was rebranded as Horizon Charlotte. Horizon's news division announced plans to launch local newscasts by the end of October 2023
