Boone was/is in the Charlotte DMA, why didn't it carry Charlotte's NBC?

Here's Charter's current lineup, which does have WCNC and all the Charlotte stations. WCYB is still there, while WXII has been dropped. Note that it also carries both ABC's former (WKPT) and current (WJHL-DT2) Tri-Cities affiliates.

Pre-transition, I'm guessing Charter couldn't pick up WCNC over the air in Boone

Probably at one time Channel 36 was on cable. during the WRET days. Plus at the elevation it should be receivable over the air or via microwave back in the day.

Was must-carry enforced back in those days, the way it is now? Might the reasoning have been, yes, we're in the Charlotte DMA, the preponderance of viewing is definitely Charlotte, but the BKJC stations are more or less "local" to us too?
