 wvlightning.com - Lightning and TV towers, skyscrapers and other tall structures
A television tower's antenna often experiences a direct strike as frequently as every thirty seconds during more intense thunderstorms, with a total of three to over a dozen strikes per every half-hour interval that a storm is overhead.
Towers or skyscrapers that reach or exceed the 1,000 foot mark are virtually guaranteed to take at least one direct hit during every thunderstorm that passes overhead.
The old WVAH and WCHS towers were guaranteed lightning targets during every thunderstorm that passed overhead, and the new tower continues the tradition.

For several months after Media General acquired the stations from NBC Universal, WNCN's website and those of the other three stations remained in the format used by the websites of NBC O&O stations.
In early December 2006, WNCN's website, as well as that of sister station WJAR, were redesigned; they now credit Media General in their copyright notices, and are no longer operated by Internet Broadcasting.
Under the network's ownership, WNCN had a midday newscast that aired at 10 AM, which is common for most NBC-owned stations with midday newscasts.

 News and information on North Carolina's Outer Banks
From its inception, the 1803 Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was unique among the other 27 existing American lighthouses in that it was to be a coastal light meant to warn mariners to stay away from the coast, not a harbor light bringing ships nearer.
As an early federal octagonal tower, it was built of dressed brown stone (sandstone) and brick that reached skyward 90 feet.
The tower measured 26 1/2 feet at the base which tapered toward the top, was equipped with wooden stairs, and was surmounted by a 12-foot-tall birdcage type lantern.

WNCN showed HD for about one second and then went to SD apparently to superimpose their logo bug.

Along with WRAL, WRAZ began digital broadcasting in late 2000 from a transmission tower located in Garner, North Carolina.
WRAZ even produces live broadcasts of Durham Bulls home games on site, which air on a digital sub-channel carried by mostly by local Time Warner Cable outlets in central and eastern North Carolina.

 A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
WTVD's 1994' tower outlasted two contemporaries; uneven thawing after a December 1989 ice storm brought down the equally tall towers of WRAL-TV 5 and WPTF-TV 28, the latter just three years old.
They were replaced in 1991 by the tower at center, a 1999' stick that's home to WRAL-TV, WRAZ 50, WRDC 28 (the successor to WPTF-TV), WQDR 94.7 (the old WPTF-FM) and WRAL-FM 101.5.
The rest of the market's TV is either far away (WRAY channel 30 and WRPX Channel 47 far to the east in Wilson and Rocky Mount) or over on the Chapel Hill side.

According to Harvey's appended letter of August 6, 1991, when he earlier evaluated the three CBS satellite stations, the geographical juxtaposition of Escanaba, equidistant from the centers of the Green Bay and Marquette television markets, accounts for the lack of feasibility in operating an Escanaba station as a full-service facility.
The WJMN- TV tower, Harvey notes, is located approximately 30 miles north of Escanaba in order to reach as much of the Marquette market as possible while maintaining a city-grade signal to Escanaba, as required by Commission rules.

Actually, the towers are right next to each other.
In fact, we're all at the same height, give or take the height of the actual antenna, on top of the tower thanks to the candelabra design that Capitol Broadcasting Company (WRAL/WRAZ) incorporated into this tower.
It is mounted on one "arbor" that is at the top of the tower, 120 degrees displaced from WNCN-TV and WNCN-DT's antennas (I'm not sure which one is supporting which, I'd guess the DT antenna is on top of the TV antenna), and 120 degrees displaced the other way from WRAL-DT and WRAZ-DT's antennas.

I am surprised you wouldn't get 5, 11, 17, 22, 28, and 50 all solid since they are all on the towers in that same area.
I would think that you'd either get all of them equally well OR perhaps you would be too close to the tower and actually be under the signal unless you put up a tower of your own.

 Form lends utility and beauty to antenna outpost - Triangle Business Journal:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The broadcast studios of WRAL-HD, WRAZ-HD, WRDC-HD, WLFL-HD and WNCN are located in Raleigh, and their signals are sent via microwave from the studio to the Auburn Transmitter, then to the broadcast tower, which transmits it.
The transmission lines are normally copper or aluminum waveguide pipes, which tend to move with the air currents.
That requires the building to be located from 60 to 100 feet away from the tower so that the lines don't snap when they enter the building.
