Welcome
to
Broadcast House
WTIC AM FM TV3
This is
the meeting place for all who
were employed by Travelers Broadcasting or Broadcast Plaza Inc prior to
the sale of the
stations March 8, 1974. Television was sold to Post-Newsweek
Stations and became
WFSB TV3. Existing management set up the 1080 Corporation to operate
the AM FM Radio side.
They retained the WTIC radio call sign.

Bill Hennessey updates us on a monthly get-together:
A
very informal
group of radio/TV types – named, the Bunch Of Old Broadcasters
(“B.O.O.B.s”) – gathers monthly at The Arch Street Tavern
in
Hartford to reminisce, become drunk and disorderly, and enjoy the
fantastic Hartford Jazz Orchestra, a 16-piece Big Band aggregation of
top-notch musicians. Everyone is invited and many ex-TICers
are attendees. Usually, the last Monday of each Month is
reserved for them.
Pass the word. ‘Hope to see ya there!
All are welcome to this site to see the memorabilia, to learn about the personalities of the "good old days" and to find out what they are doing nowadays. The museum will display material of the time. Online displays will depend on what can be scanned and contributed by alumni and others.
Individuals listed on Personalities, Technicians and Support Personnel pages show what they did at WTIC, what they're doing now, and if they contributed remembrances, their name is a link. If they request it, an email link is included.

The
broadcaster in the upper left corner was a registered trademark that
continued at
least through the 1080 Corp. Bill Mill says it was inspired by the
following sermon:
"Truth never yet fell dead in the
streets; it has such affinity with the soul of man, the seed however
broadcast will catch
somewhere and produce its hundredfold."
-- Rev. Thomas Parker, 1842
According to George Conklin: The statue of the broadcaster was created by Frances Wadsworth who is a well known Connecticut sculptor.
