Eyewitness News starting at 5:00 pm

Since the early 1970s, WSOC-TV has used the Eyewitness News brand for its newscasts. However, its overall news presentation is very similar to the Action News format at Atlanta sister station WSB-TV. When channel 9 expanded its 6 pm newscast to a full hour, it began airing ABC World News Tonight at 7 pm, a half hour later than many ABC affiliates in the Eastern Time Zone. This ended in 1993, when the addition of a newscast at 5:30 pm led the station to cut back the 6 pm newscast to a half hour.
