CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Channel 9 Eyewitness News at 10 pm on WAXN TV64 will be expanding its weeknight prime time late newscasts to a full hour, debuting Monday, Dec. 2.

Charlotte's No. 1-rated 10 p.m. newscast continues to grow its prime time audiences in several key demographics.

"We're committed to delivering valuable local news and weather coverage, and by expanding the newscast to one hour, we're giving viewers more relevant content to consume," says Joe Pomilla, VP and general manager of WSOC/WAXN TV.  

There will be no changes to the anchor line-up, said WSOC/WAXN News Director Julie Szulczewski. 

"Channel 9's Natalie Pasquarella will continue to anchor the newscast each weeknight at 10 p.m. on WAXN-TV64 along with Channel 9 Chief Meteorologist Steve Udelson," Szulczewski said.

The expanded full-hour prime time newscast will be immediately followed by "The Arsenio Hall Show" at 11 p.m.
