By closing through WRAL-TV our systems automatically inform wral.com, WRAL-FM and FOX 50. WRAL-FM uses wral.com as their source for closing information.
We want to give viewers timely information about school, day care, church, and large business closings.
In order to accomplish this goal, we've established the following criteria:
