WFSB changes their mind

[Doug Drown]

The whole kaboodle, as you're probably aware, used to be owned by Travelers'
Insurance Co. (T-I-C)   Travelers' sold off the original WTIC-TV (now
WFSB)to Post-Newsweek in the early '70s, then sold the radio stations to a
local entrepreneur --- industrialist, I think --- named Chace a few years
later.  It was he who put the present WTIC-TV 61 on the air as a Fox
affiliate.
It was around that same time --- not long after GE's divestment of NBC
Radio, if memory serves --- that WTIC-AM broke its long-standing ties to NBC
and became a CBS affiliate. That paved the way to the eventual purchase of
the radio stations by CBS.  Mr. Chace subsequently sold WTIC-TV, too, and
retired from the broadcasting business.  He had also owned stations in
Stamford and elsewhere in Connecticut.
I don't know who bought WTIC-TV.  Can someone else take over this thread
from here?
