WNCN originally signed on the air in 1988 as WYED-TV, an independent station owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group, their first and only television station in their history. In 1994, the station was sold to the Outlet Company.

The station joined The WB in January 1995 upon its launch. At the same time, it changed its call letters to the current WNCN, which stood for North Carolina's News. The WB affiliation did not last long. In September of that year, it became the new NBC affiliate for the Raleigh area, replacing WRDC, which joined UPN. The WB meanwhile, went to newly-launched WRAZ. WNCN also debuted the tagline, A Whole New NBC! on WNCN.

In 1996, the station was sold (with the other Outlet stations) to NBC, and WNCN became an NBC owned-and-operated station. WNCN then later rebranded as NBC 17.

On January 9, 2006, NBC Universal announced it was putting WNCN up for sale, along with WVTM-TV in Birmingham, Alabama, and the other two former Outlet stations, WJAR and WCMH-TV. On April 6, 2006, Media General announced that it would acquire the four stations. The sale was finalized on June 26, 2006.

===2013–2016===
In April 2013, as part of a new branding campaign, the station switched its branding from "NBC 17" to just WNCN; the new brand was intended to emphasize the station's "strong desire to more aggressively serve its local communities". The station's marketing director declared both "NBC" and "17" as "irrelevant to our local content mission". On January 15, 2016, NBC announced that it would affiliate with WRAL-TV (channel 5) for the second time. CBS and then-parent Media General announced an affiliation agreement for channel 17 that same day.

Upon the switch to CBS on February 29 of that year, the station changed its on-air branding to "CBS North Carolina" and its newscasts to "North Carolina News". Soon thereafter, on January 27, 2016, it was announced that the Nexstar Broadcasting Group would buy Media General for $4.6 billion. WNCN became part of Nexstar upon the sale's consummation on January 17, 2017.
