Gubernatorial Candidates Interview Series

Beginning Monday, April 30th through Monday, May 7th, WNCW presents a series of special interviews with each of the candidates in the North Carolina primary for Governor. Each candidate - Democratic and Republican - was asked the same three questions; each was given the same amount of time to answer them and to talk a little about themselves. These interviews will run during Morning Edition - two a day - at 7:50 and 8:50 am, leading up to the day before the May 8th primary.

Even though early voting has already begun, many voters have not made a decision on which candidate to choose. We hope these interviews will give listeners a chance to get to know a little more about all of the candidates. 

            Following is the schedule for when each will air:

                  Monday, April 30:     7:50 am          Democrat Bruce Blackmon
