On Gaylord Mountain in Hampden along with WBNE-59, WKCI 101.3, and WPLR 99.1 (all on the same tower!)

Talcott Mountain.
and WHCT-18 and WWUH 91.3. 


for a few months, WWLP-TV was the second station that was viewable in 
the Hartford market (originally on Channel 61), a few months before 
channel 30 signed on. AND to make it even more interesting, WWLP signed

There is a fairly decent condensed history on our (WWLP's) website.
