News 14 Carolina is a 24-hour cable news service offered in North Carolina, USA, by Time Warner Cable on its cable TV systems in the state. There are News 14 Carolina television channels in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, and Wilmington each primarily with local news but some local programming content of statewide interest is shared. A regular feature is "Weather on the Ones", which gives a local weather forecast every ten minutes.

Its Piedmont Triad channel debuted on September 25, 2006. It launched a Wilmington channel on August 18, 2008.

News 14 Carolina was not the first local 24-hour television news channel in the Raleigh area. WRAL-TV started a news channel on the Time Warner Cable digital tier in July 2001.

Time Warner planned to debut the 24-hour local news channel in December 2001 in Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville, and Goldsboro, reaching 425,000 subscribers. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, Alan Mason, the channel's general manager, said the debut would happen in February or March 2002. This was because the station's employees needed training that would have taken place at new studios for NY1 in New York City, but NY1 was concentrating on coverage of the attacks and had not yet moved into its new studios. News 14 Carolina finally made its debut March 22, 2002. Reporters used digital cameras instead of videotape, downloading their stories. Sets, however, looked similar to those at conventional TV stations.

His fourth studio album (the first album of original material since 2003's Measure of a Man), On My Way Here was released on May 6, 2008.

After the release of On My Way Here, Aiken left RCA and later signed with Decca Records. His first album with Decca, Tried and True, was released June 1, 2010 and his second Steadfast, was released March 26, 2012.
