print friendly

WRAL will broadcast two Atlantic Coast Conference basketball games Wednesday night at 9, resulting in programming changes on WRAL and the WRAL NewsChannel.

WRAL-TV 5 will show Wednesday's Wake Forest-North Carolina State in the RBC Center live at 9 p.m. The Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, originally scheduled for that time slot on WRAL, has been pushed back to 1:37 a.m.Thursday.

If the Wake Forest-NCSU game does not end until after 11:10 p.m. Wednesday, the movie will not start until 2:02 a.m. Thursday.

Meanwhile, Wednesday night's Maryland-Virginia game will be televised live on the WRAL NewsChannel at 9 p.m. The NewsChannel is digital cable channel 256.

Thursday night's Duke-North Carolina game also will cause a programming change. That game will be broadcast live from the Smith Center at 9 p.m. on WRAL-TV 5, delaying the start of CBS shows "CSI" and "Without A Trace" until early Friday morning.

"CSI" is scheduled to be aired on WRAL at 1:52 a.m. Friday, and "Without A Trace" is scheduled to begin at 2:52 a.m. Friday. If the Duke-UNC game does not end until after 11:10 p.m., then "CSI" will start at 2:17 a.m. Friday and "Without A Trace" at 3:17 a.m. Friday.

Thursday's game also will be broadcast live on WRAL-DT, cable channel 5.1 and digital cable channel 255.
