 When NBC dropped that service in 1977, WSOC remained all-news, adding local news personnel in the process.Popular newscasters on WSOC in those days included Jim Cundiff (air name Jim David) and the first female news director in North Carolina Leslie Wolfe (who married Cundiff while they worked as the morning drive news co-anchor team).Overnights, the station carried The Larry King Show from the Mutual Broadcasting System, and eventually Mutual's radio newscasts found their way into the daytime news programming of the station.
