WTRX

WTRX is the TCN affiliate serving Truxton, North Carolina. It is owned by Confection Broadcasting.
== History ==
WTRX signed on the air on March 29, 2003, as WTRX-LP. It was branded as TCN TV 5, and, outside of TCN's national programming, aired lower-grade syndicated shows such as Life Moments, Beyond with James Van Praagh, and weekend reruns of This Old House. It simulcasted the Shop at Home Network overnight. 
In 2005, a 30-minute newscast at 7 p.m., referred to on-air as TV 5 News Primetime, but on program guides as Live 5 News (the latter name is now actually used for the station's newscasts), debuted. As the show was Truxton's only local offering in prime access, it was relatively successful, but game shows or newsmagazines often took the #1 spot. 
In 2008, the station rebranded to Live 5, and a 10 p.m. newscast under the title Live 5 News at Ten was added to the schedule. Some new shows came to the schedule, including Judge David Young, CSI: Miami, and Rachael Ray; only the latter still airs on the station today.
Live 5 Mornings debuted in 2011, airing for one hour at 6 a.m. Currently, it airs from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m.; because TCN News Early Edition airs live at 4 a.m. E.T., it cannot air on the main channel; however, the DT3 subchannel, airing The Works programming, broadcasts it weekdays at 5 a.m. 
Syndicated programming seen on WTRX includes the aforementioned Rachael Ray, as well as A Current Affair and This Just In. A local sports show, The Athletic Angle with Bobby Rockwell, airs Sunday evenings at 11 p.m., with an encore Mondays at 3 a.m. In "local programming" slots, WTRX-DT3 will air encores of the latest Live 5 newscast, as well as repeats of syndicated programming.
