WBZ-TV (channel 15) is a television station in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, airing programming from the Central Television Network. Owned and operated by the network's Central Networks Corporation division alongside Kannapolis-licensed independent station WYCN (channel 44), both stations share studios on North Tryon and West 23rd streets north of uptown Charlotte, while WBZ-TV's transmitter is located near Reedy Creek Park in the Newell section of the city.
==News operation==
WBZ-TV presently broadcasts 37½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 5½ hours each weekday and five hours each on Saturdays and Sundays); in addition, the station produces an additional 17 hours of newscasts each week for sister station WYCN (in the form of a two-hour extension of WBZ's weekday morning newscast and an hour-long 10 p.m. newscast).
Since the early 1970s, WBZ-TV has used the Action News brand for its newscasts. When channel 15 expanded its 6 p.m. newscast to a full hour, it began airing Central Newsnight at 7 p.m. This ended in 1993, when the addition of a newscast at 5:30 p.m. led the station to cut back the 6 p.m. newscast to a half hour and Newsnight moved back to 6:30.
