WTHT (Connecticut)

WTHT was a radio station in Hartford, Connecticut, United States, that operated from 1936 to 1954. It was owned by The Hartford Times, the city's afternoon daily newspaper. As a result of the merger of WTHT with WONS, which brought the companies together in anticipation of building a television station, WTHT closed on February 15, 1954, and its programs were merged with WONS as WGTH on the WONS frequency. Its studios on 555 Asylum Street were converted into television facilities for WGTH-TV (channel 18), which debuted later that year. The 1230 frequency was occupied by Manchester, Connecticut–based WINF beginning in 1958.
