WWAY NewsChannel 3: The station WECT watches to get its news

Habits are hard to break. We understand that. But having bad habits mean you might be missing out.

These last two weeks are a perfect example. If you watched WECT, you wouldn’t know that…

> A Pender County teacher has been charged with cyberstalking one of her teenage students.
> A Raleigh couple claims a State Highway Patrol trooper tried to intimidate them in Wilmington after pulling over the wife for a “burned out headlight.”
> A local McDonald’s has tested its employees for TB.
> A vacationing girl was bitten by a shark at North Topsail Beach.
> And the North Carolina State Supreme Court halted a local judge’s order and is allowing the district attorney to run traffic court the way he wants to.

It’s hard to say why we’re the only TV station in town covering these important stories. Maybe we don’t mind controversial topics. Maybe WECT doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to rock the boat. Maybe it’s a little of both.

But no matter why, the bottom line is simple: if you want IMPORTANT, INFORMATIVE, REAL LOCAL NEWS, the only place to get it is on WWAY NewsChannel 3.
