ON THE AIR
Broadcast historians Brandon Kampe and John Ramsey recently appeared on the Dan Lavallo show on WDRC AM.  Click the "Interview" link at left ot hear the entire show!

WE HAVE AUDIO!
   We've finally found the time to start adding audio in the form of air checks, retrospectives and special programs.
    Look for audio clips under WRYM, WCCC (AM), WCCC FM and WWUH.

Please note:  Researching broadcast history can be a lot of fun but it is important to keep in mind that broadcast facilities such as the ones shown on this site take security very seriously and have extensive security procedures and systems in place to protect their sites. These pictures were taken on an authorized tours or from public areas.  Security measures might include guard patrols, CCTV, FLIR and motion and/or vibration detectors, etc.
  Most broadcast sites are posted which means persons attempting to access them will be detained and subject to arrest for trespassing on the first offense.

Timeline For CT Broadcasting:
http://wwuh.org/history/CTtimeline.htm 

This site was created to help preserve the rich history of broadcasting in Connecticut.  The initial focus has been on radio but we've started adding pages on the state's TV stations and will continue to do so as time permits.

Several stations, including WDRC, WPOP, WTIC and WWUH, have excellent tribute sites but the history of many of CT's stations is not well documented. We hope this site will help correct that situation.

We are always looking for new information, corrections, pictures, memorabilia and staff recollections so if you can help please let us know. Our emal address is below.

Stations are listed by their current call letters to minimize confusion.  Often you will see their original call letters in parenthesis to assist in locating old stations. 

Click on the call letters at the left to find out more about the history of that particular station. Some stations have multiple pages so hover your cursor over the call letters and you will see a list of the various pages available. 

We are adding more information all the time so please check back often (see the "history" section below) and don't forget to sign the guestbook. 

The information on this site is as accurate as possible but since the material comes from numerous sources, some of which cannot be verified, it should be considered for entertainment purposes only.
