For WRAL, A News Streamer Circles Profitably Back To Linear TV And Radio
Capitol Broadcasting’s WRAL Raleigh, N.C., launched a news streaming channel so popular out of the gate that the company carried it over to linear TV and radio simulcasts. A quick turn to profitability followed.
Sinclair Broadcast Group’s NewsON free streaming service said it added Capitol Broadcasting’s new streaming channel WRAL News Plus to NewsON’s channel lineup. WRAL news content is also available on the VUit and Local Now streaming news platforms.
WRAL, the Capitol-owned station in Raleigh, N.C., has launched WRAL News+, featuring trending headlines, the latest severe weather, breaking news, up-to-the-minute traffic, and local reporting.
WRAL News+ can be watched and heard by listening locally on the radio in Raleigh, Durham and across North Carolina’s Research Triangle, watching online at WRAL.com, streaming within the WRAL app on a smart TV, and with the WRAL mobile app. Among the new effort’s staff (l-r): Taiyana Hill, Rosalia Fodera, contributor; Jeremy Spearman, executive producer; Meghan Glova, contributor; and Khadejah Durant.
