WRAL has broadcast some of the most memorable locally-produced children's programming throughout its storied history, but the most famous and longest-running is Time for Uncle Paul (1961-1981), starring Paul Montgomery, who had played various other characters on other local shows before getting his own program.
WRAL is one of the few CBS affiliates that show The Young and the Restless from 4-5pm as a lead in to their 5pm newscast.
WRAL announced on February 1, 2006 that it will simulcast all of its programming on the Web to computer users in the Triangle, signifying the latest advance in technology-driven delivery of product by a local television station.
