When it debuted, WBTV was the 13th television station in the United States<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the first in the Carolinas; it is the oldest television station located between <a href="/wiki/Richmond,_Virginia" title="Richmond, Virginia">Richmond</a> and <a href="/wiki/Atlanta" title="Atlanta">Atlanta</a>. Veteran Charlotte broadcaster Jim Patterson was the first person seen on the station, and remained employed there until his death in 1986. WBTV was originally owned by the <a href="/wiki/Greensboro" class="mw-redirect" title="Greensboro">Greensboro</a>-based Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, then-owners of <a href="/wiki/WBT_(AM)" title="WBT (AM)">WBT</a> (1110 AM), the city's oldest <a href="/wiki/Radio_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Radio station">radio station</a> and the first fully licensed station in the South. At the time, the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company also had a 16.5% interest in the <a href="/wiki/News_%26_Record" title="News & Record">Greensboro News Company</a>, licensee of <a href="/wiki/WFMY-TV" title="WFMY-TV">WFMY-TV</a>, which signed on from Greensboro two months after WBTV. Jefferson Standard had purchased WBT from CBS in 1947. Shortly before the television station went on the air, its call letters were modified from WBT-TV to WBTV. Jefferson Standard merged with Pilot Life in 1968 (although it had owned controlling interest since 1945) and became Jefferson-Pilot Corporation. In 1970, the media interests were folded into a new subsidiary, Jefferson-Pilot Communications. </p><p>WBTV received one of the last <a href="/wiki/Construction_permit" class="mw-redirect" title="Construction permit">construction permits</a> issued before the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission" title="Federal Communications Commission">Federal Communications Commission</a>'s (FCC) <a href="/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission#The_freeze_of_1948" title="Federal Communications Commission">"freeze" on new television licenses</a>, which lasted until the Commission released its <i>Sixth Report and Order</i> in 1952. As such, it was Charlotte's only <a href="/wiki/VHF" class="mw-redirect" title="VHF">VHF</a> station for eight years, carrying affiliations with all four major networks of the time—<a href="/wiki/CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a>, <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a>, <a href="/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company" title="American Broadcasting Company">ABC</a> and <a href="/wiki/DuMont_Television_Network" title="DuMont Television Network">DuMont</a>. However, WBTV has always been a primary CBS affiliate, owing to WBT radio's long affiliation with the <a href="/wiki/CBS_Radio_Network" class="mw-redirect" title="CBS Radio Network">CBS Radio Network</a>. It is the only commercial television station in the market that has never changed its primary affiliation. </p><p>Channel 3 had originally operated from a converted radio studio in the Wilder Building, alongside its sister radio station. In 1955, WBT and WBTV moved to a then state-of-the-art facility on a hill atop Morehead Street, where both stations are still based today. The studio address, One <a href="/wiki/Julian_Price" title="Julian Price">Julian Price</a> Place, is named in honor of the executive who effectively founded Jefferson Standard/Jefferson-Pilot through an early-20th century merger. </p><p>WBTV's only competition in its early years came from a <a href="/wiki/UHF" class="mw-redirect" title="UHF">UHF</a> station on channel 36, known as WAYS-TV and then WQMC-TV, which broadcast briefly from 1953 to 1955. It was nominally an NBC affiliate, sharing a secondary ABC affiliation with channel 3. However, channel 36's signal was severely weak, and NBC continued to allow WBTV to cherry-pick its stronger programming. Channel 36 went dark in March 1955, and DuMont shut down roughly a year later in August 1956. Channel 3 took on secondary affiliations with NBC and ABC until Charlotte's second VHF station, <a href="/wiki/WSOC-TV" title="WSOC-TV">WSOC-TV</a> (channel 9), took the NBC affiliation when it signed on in April 1957. Channel 36 returned to the air in November 1964 as <a href="/wiki/WCCB" title="WCCB">WCCB</a> (later moving to channel 18 in November 1966), carrying whatever CBS programs that WBTV turned down in order to carry ABC programs. ABC programming continued to be split among the three stations until 1967, when WCCB became a full-time ABC affiliate. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:WBTV-Tower.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/02/WBTV-Tower.jpg/250px-WBTV-Tower.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/02/WBTV-Tower.jpg/330px-WBTV-Tower.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/02/WBTV-Tower.jpg/500px-WBTV-Tower.jpg 2x" data-file-width="768" data-file-height="1024" /></a><figcaption>WBTV's <a href="/wiki/Radio_masts_and_towers" title="Radio masts and towers">broadcast</a> tower in north-central <a href="/wiki/Gaston_County" class="mw-redirect" title="Gaston County">Gaston County</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>From 1958 to 1974, WBTV's studio facilities served as the home for <a href="/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Championship_Wrestling" class="mw-redirect" title="Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling">Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling</a> telecasts.

The two stations were separately programmed, but shared a microwave system from 1959 onward. Jefferson-Pilot sold WBTW in 1968 because WBTW provided a fairly strong grade B signal to the eastern portion of the Charlotte market, and neither station would have been able to expand their signals as long as Jefferson-Pilot owned both of them. </p><p>In 2006, Jefferson-Pilot merged with the <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia" title="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</a>-based <a href="/wiki/Lincoln_National_Corporation" title="Lincoln National Corporation">Lincoln National Corporation</a>.

In addition to its legacy as the state's first television station, it also benefited from its ties to WBT, one of the most respected radio news operations in the Southeastern United States. Channel 3 did not face a serious challenge by any other news-producing station in the market until 1981. That year, Doug Mayes, the station's main anchorman since it began producing daily newscasts in 1952, jumped to WSOC-TV. Mayes said years later that channel 9 offered him a deal that was too lucrative for him to resist, considering that he had kids in college.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Jefferson-Pilot management, who only a few years earlier had touted Mayes as part of the station's campaign, "Turn to People You Know", wanted to make its newscasts appeal to a younger audience and made little effort to retain him. Within a few months, WBTV's late-evening newscast lost the lead at 11 p.m. to channel 9, and it would not regain first place in that timeslot until 2004. WSOC-TV gained a large lead in ratings for most other news timeslots beginning in 1990. WBTV returned to a strong position in the late 1990s, culminating in wrestling the #1 spot at noon in 1998 from WSOC-TV. The two stations have gone back and forth at first place in most timeslots since then. During the July 2013 ratings period, WBTV took the lead at noon and 11 p.m., while WSOC led at all other news timeslots.<sup id="cite_ref-charlotteobserver.com_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-charlotteobserver.com-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Soon after Raycom took control of the station, WBTV began airing local newscasts and CBS programs in <a href="/wiki/High-definition_television" title="High-definition television">high definition</a>.
