News 14 Carolina is hiring reporters, producers and managers to staff new offices in Wilmington and Newport. Time Warner Cable's advanced fiber network will connect these newsrooms to a network of others currently operating in Charlotte, Raleigh, Salisbury, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Chapel Hill and Goldsboro. News 14 Carolina will also add a coastal component to its award-winning website, www.news14.com . The website has more localized coverage across the state than any other website in North Carolina.
Along with customized news and sports, News 14 Carolina has the largest team of meteorologists at any television news organization in North Carolina. The Weather on the Ones feature offers viewers a customized local forecast every ten minutes.
Currently, News 14 Carolina is available exclusively to Time Warner Cable customers in 1.3 million homes. The additions of Wilmington and Newport will bring that number to more than 1.5 million subscribers. “It's important for us to have the capability to cover as much of the state as possible,” says News 14 Carolina general manager, Alan Mason. “The addition of Wilmington and surrounding areas will bring residents access to around the clock local and statewide news they have never had access to before.”

I can't help but notice that your organization is hiring producers and reporters for Wilmington, but no meteorologists? How does that work?
Well, uh...good question. In general, the state will be split east and west, so the Raleigh weather department will handle the bulk of Wilmington forecasts. You did read correctly that no additional meteorologists are being hired, at least not at this time.
