Welcome to The Metro View
In a media world dominated by chaos and conflict, The Metro View is here to offer something different—something better. We’re your destination for positive news, inspiring stories, and uplifting community highlights from across the Charlotte metro area.
Our goal is simple: to shine a spotlight on the people, businesses, and progress shaping the Queen City and its surrounding communities. The Metro View isn’t just a media platform—it’s a movement built on hope, celebration, and connection.
Only Metro Charlotte—And That’s On Purpose
We’re committed to covering only Metro Charlotte. You won’t find national or out-of-area stories here unless they directly connect to Charlotte. Why? Because we know how frustrating it is to click on a local site only to be flooded with irrelevant content. At The Metro View, our focus stays local so you can stay informed, uplifted, and connected to what actually matters to your daily life.
Why We Started The Metro View
Our journey through media, podcasting, and community storytelling spans years. From local publications to national interviews, we’ve always been drawn to authentic, purpose-filled content. But as we looked toward the next chapter of our story, something became clear:
Charlotte is calling.
We would consider moving to the Charlotte area over time, and launching The Metro View is part of planting those roots early. We want to build relationships, tell local stories, and become a trusted voice in the community before we even arrive.
Charlotte is a city filled with momentum—booming with business, creativity, and innovation. But amid all the growth, there’s a need for a platform that focuses on what’s going right. That’s where we come in.
What We Do
We curate and share stories that celebrate success, highlight community impact, and showcase the positive efforts driving Charlotte forward.
Whether it’s a rising entrepreneur, a nonprofit changing lives, or an exciting local event—The Metro View is here to amplify what’s worth celebrating.
✅ Spotlighting Local Businesses – Highlighting the people and companies fueling Charlotte’s growth
✅ Covering Community News – Sharing the heart and soul of the city
✅ Inspiring Interviews – Conversations with leaders, creatives, and changemakers
✅ Promoting Local Events – Helping you stay connected with what’s happening
✅ Spreading Positivity – Because good news is good for everyone
We also work closely with PR firms, small businesses, and organizations to ensure their stories are seen, heard, and shared—with proper credit and visibility included.
Meet the Founders
We’re Chris and Sandy Benton, a husband-and-wife duo passionate about storytelling, faith, and community impact.
We’ve been married for over 22 years and are proud parents to a teenage son and a young daughter. From podcasting to media to ministry, everything we’ve done has been rooted in a desire to bring people together and help them find hope and purpose in their own stories.
Through The Metro View, we’re bringing that same energy and heart to Charlotte.
Why It Matters
We believe in the power of positive storytelling. It’s not just about feel-good headlines—it’s about building community, opening doors, and changing lives.
The Metro View is here to tell the stories that often go untold: the quiet victories, the community wins, the everyday heroes. When we highlight what’s good, we uplift everyone.
Looking Ahead
This is just the beginning. As The Metro View grows, we’re committed to expanding our content, building strong local partnerships, and launching new storytelling formats that celebrate Charlotte’s diversity, culture, and vision for the future.
Our dream is to become Charlotte’s go-to destination for positive media—a trusted, uplifting, and empowering voice in the region.
