WNAO-TV (channel 28) was a television station in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States, affiliated with CBS. Owned by the Sir Walter Television Company, it was the first television station in the Raleigh–Durham area and the first ultra high frequency (UHF) television station in North Carolina, broadcasting from July 12, 1953, to December 31, 1957. The station closed because of the establishment of higher-powered, more accessible very high frequency (VHF) television stations in the region.
