WBTV is the least obnoxious news program in town, and they've been on the air since the 50s.

Notable alums: Bob Ingram, now a novelist, and Jim Thacker, who also did ACC sports

Wasn't Maureen O'Boyle on some nationally televised syndicated show at one time? Inside Edition, A Current Affair - one of those?

Wikipedia says A Current Affair, and Extra. Looks like her ratings on the former were pretty good.

AFAIK there are no "Lids" in any of the malls around here, but since "lid" is sometimes used as a synonym for "hat" it seems like the obvious answer.
