The delay in the affiliation switch kept CBS' coverage of [[Super Bowl 50]], which featured the [[Carolina Panthers]] (based in nearby [[Charlotte, North Carolina|Charlotte]]) as champions of the [[National Football Conference]], on WRAL-TV. As an NBC station, channel 5 carried the [[2016 Summer Olympics]], making it one of the few stations that aired the Super Bowl and Olympics from different networks in the same year.<ref name="tvspy-sbolympics">{{cite web|title=WRAL GM on Airing Super Bowl and Olympics in Same Year|url=http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wral-gm-on-airing-super-bowl-and-olympics-in-same-year/162889|website=TVSpy|publisher=Adweek Blog Network|accessdate=2 February 2016}}</ref> ----->
