WLOT

WLOT is an UPN affiliate serving Charlotte, NC and the Charlotte area. Broadcasting on Channel 28, WLOT is owned and operated by Lady Luck Communications as part of a duopoly (Lady Luck also owns NBC affiliate WCTU and CW affiliate WCCW). WLOT was launched as an independent station in 1990, and five years later, became a charter member of UPN. In 2000, WLOT was sold by Acorn Broadcasting to Viacom, making WLOT an UPN O&O station. In 2006, when CBS returned UPN to Viacom, WLOT was no longer an O&O affiliate. In 2008, Viacom sold WLOT to Lady Luck, making the duopoly even bigger. WLOT doesn't have a newscast of their own. They simulcast WCCW's 10 PM newscast.
