Tarleton is a retired broadcasting executive and general manager for WBTV, WBT (AM), and WCCB in Charlotte, North Carolina.
By coincidence, this made WCCB the unofficial "home" station of the Carolina Panthers upon the team's 1995 inception.
•
WCCB maintains studio facilties just outside Uptown, off Independence Boulevard across from Bojangles' Coliseum, and its transmitter is located in Newell, an unincorporated area of Mecklenburg County just northeast of the Charlotte city limits.
•
The station's former tower was located adjacent to the studio in the parking lot of the old Charlotte Coliseum.
•
Channel 36 had a very weak 100,000-watt signal which was spotty further than 10 miles from the transmitter, making it virtually unviewable even in some parts of Mecklenburg County.
