This index page serves as
repository for WTIC memorabilia. It leads to subordinate displays, audio and video clips
contributed by alumni and others.
Many items were contributed by Ed Brouder of
ManFromMars Productions. His broadcast career dates from WDRC but his online museum
features air checks of many Hartford area personalities. Visit him at

This is the earliest known WTIC printed envelope indicia. It dates from when the
station was in the old Travelers building on Grove Street in downtown Hartford.
Dewey Dow contributed the following clip from the
Meriden Record-Journal dated 1926.
"The radio is growing in popularity in Meriden and
almost every day finds new devotees "listening in." Dealers report a continually
increasing number of sales and while a few years ago only those inclined to carry on
experiments were interested in wireless, the present-day instrument has been adapted by
those who seek entertainment and enlightenment. Musical programs, both vocal and
instrumental, as well as addresses on timely subjects and sermons, are being received
daily and all the big sporting events are now broadcast. The radio fans of Meriden have
not looked forward to any program with the universal interest being taken in the
"Meriden Night" program to be broadcast from station WTIC of the Travelers
insurance company of Hartford tonight. Groups will gather at the Legion home, the Elks
Club, another in Grand Army hall, still another in the Meriden National Bank and many
other places so high is the interest."
