Local News on Cable, or LNC5, is a joint venture between WVEC-TV (the local ABC affiliate), Cox Communications Hampton Roads, and The Virginian-Pilot. LNC5 is owned by the Belo Corporation. Launched on February 24, 1997 as LNC4 on Cox Cable channel 4. It later moved to channel 5 after the launch of independent station WSKY-TV). LNC5 is available only on Cox Communications in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and northeast North Carolina (Knotts Island, NC only).

LNC5 airs WVEC's live newscasts and rebroadcasts them throughout the day. On weeknights, LNC airs and produces a 10 p.m. half-hour newscast titled "Pilot 13 News" and a weekend morning edition. LNC occasionally airs live broadcasts of major events in the Hampton Roads area, i.e. arrivals of military members.

On weekends and some holidays (i.e. Christmas), if ABC sports coverage (which airs on WVEC) interferes with WVEC's newscast (usually at 6 p.m.), LNC occasionally airs a live newscast.
