The roots of Capitol Broadcasting Company date back to 1937 when Raleigh attorney A.J. Fletcher and four partners formed a company so they could compete in the growing business of broadcasting.  A year later, the Federal Communications Commission authorized the license for WRAL-AM, and Capitol Broadcasting Company was off and running.
Over the next seven decades CBC would establish itself as one of the most respected and innovative communications companies in the nation.  The company that started with one tiny radio station has expanded its broadcast holdings and diversified into new media, real estate and professional sports.
CBC’s history is the classic tale of American success.  We’re proud of that story and want to share it with you here in the pages of this historical website.  We’ve compiled hundreds of videos, photos, audio clips and narratives designed to entertain, inform, and most of all—take you back in time to enjoy the rich history of CBC and all its divisions.
