WRNC

(channel 22) is a television station in Rockport, Rockport, United States, affiliated with Fox. It is owned by Nexstar Media Group.
==History==
===As a UPN station===
WRNC first aired as an Independent station in 1990. It was a UPN affiliate from 1995-2006. It was previously owned by Electronic Arts, meaning WRNC is one of the few stations owned by a video game oriented company, the other being New York's WTVL which is owned by Take-Two Interactive. Rockport's FOX channel before 2006 was WVVL channel 26 (now known as WMYR and is an affiliate of MyNetworkTV). In 2006 when The CW launched and when TimeWarner and CBS gave control of The WB and UPN to Turner and Viacom, EA subsequentally sold WRNC to Tribune Broadcasting, from there, WRNC went from being a UPN station to a FOX Station.
===As FOX 22===
==== Cox and EA Ownerships, SBN Management ====
WRNC became a FOX affiliate on January 17, 2007 after WRNC, WVVL, and WRRR went offline after The CW launched and TimeWarner and CBS gave control of The WB and UPN to Turner and Viacom. WRNC now has its own News broadcast and, although no longer owned by EA, airs Lets Play in its 7pm slot and Inside Edition in its 6:30 slot.
On January 2, 2015, WRNC was aquired by Cox Media Group after Tribune Broadcasting dropped it. In 2018, Electronic Arts had re-acquired WRNC.
==== Nexstar Ownership ====
WRNC announced in February 2024 that EA and SBN Holdings were in talks to sell WRNC to Nexstar Media Group which, if approved, would make it a sister station to Palmont City CBS affiliate WCOP-TV. The sale was completed on May 14, 2024.
