I'm confused--why would WRAL take on ABC full-time when there was only one other station in town at the time (WTVD)? I'm wondering if it had something to do with the Civil Rights Movement--WBRC-TV in Birmingham went full ABC about the same time as WRAL because CBS strongly supported the Civil Rights Movement. Considering that gasbag Jesse Helms was a commentator on WRAL at the time, you could make a pretty good argument that the Fletchers were just as upset. Blueboy96 16:17, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
