W68BK is a low-power commercial television station that serves the greater Raleigh, North Carolina area. Unofficially known as WAUG-TV 68, the station is owned and operated by St. Augustine's College and can be seen on Time Warner Cable digital tier channel 102 throughout much of the greater Raleigh service area. Much of its programming is oriented towards the African-American community, which include gospel music, religious programming, and community affairs.
In addition, students majoring in the Journalism and Mass Communications program at "St. Aug's" have the opportunity to work at the station in a laboratory setting to gain real-life experience while pursuing their degree.
St. Augustine's also owns radio station WAUG AM 750, which broadcasts mostly gospel and hip-hop music. For a period of time, the school housed (but didn't own) WRMY-TV Channel 47, an independent TV station formerly based in Rocky Mount that moved its transmitter to Franklin County to provide better coverage to the Raleigh-Durham-Fayetteville market. WRMY was later sold to Paxson Communications in 1998 as WRPX, becoming the area's Pax (now Ion network) affiliate.
