Do not fill this in! ===Sports programming=== From 1982 to 2019, WBTV was the flagship station of syndicated over-the-air coverage of Atlantic Coast Conference sports. Then-owner Jefferson-Pilot took over coverage of men's basketball from longtime producer C. D. Chesley in 1982 in partnership with Raycom, and became the sole producer of ACC football in 1984. Those rights passed to Lincoln Financial after its merger with Jefferson-Pilot in 2006. Both have been produced by Raycom Sports after their acquisition of Lincoln Financial's sports division during the 2007β2008 season. Most ACC games that were not televised by WBTV aired on either [[WJZY]] (channel 46) or [[WMYT-TV]] (channel 55). Raycom Sports has rights to the ACC until at least the 2026β27 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://raycomsports.com/ |title=A production, distribution, and event management company |publisher=Raycom Sports |date=July 21, 2015 |access-date=July 31, 2015}}</ref> The ACC syndication package moved to cable's [[ACC Network]] in 2019. WBTV also airs any Panthers games carried on CBS' NFL package. The station airs at least two games a year, typically when the team plays host to an [[American Football Conference|AFC]] opponent at [[Bank of America Stadium]]; starting in 2014, through the NFL's new "cross-flex" broadcast rules, games that would normally air on [[NFL on Fox|Fox]] (locally on WJZY) can be moved arbitrarily to CBS and vice versa. WBTV also aired both of the Panthers' [[Super Bowl]] appearances locally, as CBS had the rights to Super Bowls [[Super Bowl XXXVIII|XXXVIII]] and [[Super Bowl 50|50]].
