WCI-TV

WCI-TV, virtual channel 3 (UHF digital channel 25), is an NBC owned-and-operated television station licensed to Twin Lakes, North Carolina, United States. The station is owned by the NBC Owned Television Stations division of NBCUniversal.
==History==
The station originally signed-on the air on January 22, 1953, as WNTL, an NBC owned-and-operated station. As an owned-and-operated station, the station carried the full schedule of NBC network programs.
In 1972, WNTL was sold to Warner Communications (now WarnerMedia), which changed its callsign to the current WCI-TV. Throughout its time as a Warner-owned station, it aired Warner Bros. shows, which most networks chose to preempt.
