Charlie Gaddy, a WRAL icon, retired in 1994 from the station after enjoying a 24-year career.

Gaddy was also part of the first male-female anchor team in the 1980s with Bobbi Battista. Debra Morgan is another familiar and well-loved face of WRAL News. Debra is currently an evening news anchor, and has been with WRAL since 1993. Ms. Morgan has experienced many memorable moments over the course of her career including UNC Chapel Hill’s ACC victory in 1993, as well as being in the eye of Hurricane Bertha as it hit Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington.
