5 FM

Public radio programming originates from studios in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, as the primary station for North Carolina Public Radio. The broadcaster maintains a robust network of repeaters, including 91.5 FM in Chapel Hill and 91.9 FM in Manteo, extending coverage across the eastern and central regions of the state. News and information content focuses on state politics, public policy, and regional investigations alongside national programming distributed through NPR.

Daily schedules incorporate long-form audio journalism, such as The State of Things, and live call-in programs that allow residents to engage with policy experts. The station operates as a non-commercial entity funded primarily by listener contributions and corporate sponsorships. Programming on wunc.org provides access to archived reports and digital streams for listeners outside the terrestrial transmitter range. This organization is a member station of National Public Radio and American Public Media.
