ABC WSOC 9 television station is associated with ABC and has a permit for Charlotte. The station is under the authority of Cox Media Group. WSOC was at the first privately owned by Carolina Broadcasting. It was produced by the Jones family.
The Channel 9 was basically produced as an initial NBC associate. It kept a sub-association with ABC. The channel shared the network with WBTV. In 1959, WSOC-TV was auctioned and sold to Cox Enterprises, Miami Valley Broadcasting Company. Right after its purchase, the company gave it over to its current studios on North Tryon Street.
ABC WSOC had an issue by the mid-1990s. It had the authority to a big amount of syndicated production. The problem was that the regional news bulletin commitments did not leave the channel with enough time on-air day time. Later in 1996, it came up with a solution in the form of a collective sales agreement with independent station WCBD NBC 2 News Charleston SC Live. WKAY shifted its agency to ABC WSOC-TV’s studios as part of the deal. It then alternated its call letters to ABC WSOC.

With the help of JSA, channel 9’s stocked-up associated production was attained by WAXN. Cox bought ABC WAXN wholesale for $3 million in 1999. Precisely after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) backed up at its long-standing ban on television duopolies. The sale was formally accepted by the FCC in 2000.WSOC-TV worked as the Charlotte “Love Network” associate. It was of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon from 1974 to 2001. From there onwards, the production was shifted to WAXN. By this point on, it was known as the MDA Show of Strength. The program moved back to WSOC in 2013. This action was taken after the production left its combined long-form telethon format. It turned into a shortened two-hour network broadcast on ABC.
