CHARLOTTE, N.C. — As this election season ramps up, WCNC Charlotte is verifying the ads you see on your television.
For the next few months, we will focus on both the presidential race and the North Carolina governor’s race when it comes to which ads we verify.
We will look at ads by the campaigns themselves as well as ones put together by political action committees, also known as PACs.
Each week, we will verify two ads, on back-to-back days, that will air during the same newscast. These will first air in our 6 p.m. newscast, and then that same Verify piece will re-air in the 6 a.m. the following day for those who didn't see it the day before.
All of these will stories will also be linked on this page once they air. That way you can see anything you may have missed.
