The two talk about John’s first marriage, what he learned from it and how he knew his current wife was “the one!”John Carter is a graduate from Appalachian State University. After school, he began working at WBTV. After years with the station, John left WBTV and formed his own video production business. He also opened what turned out to be a very successful comic book shop, Off The Wall Comics, in Lincolnton that he later turned over to his brother Allan.During his time away from WBTV, John became very involved in politics and was elected to the North Carolina Senate, representing the 25th District which was made up of Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln and Rutherford Counties. After leaving the Senate, John began work with Mecklenburg County as a Public Information Specialist.Just a few years later, WBTV came calling again, and John returned to the station to anchor the WBTV News Morning Show and WBTV News at Noon.  In late 2005, John was diagnosed with prostate cancer, the number one cancer in men in the United States.
