The History of WVIT: A Strong Connecticut Legacy
Did you know NBC Connecticut is the second-oldest TV station in our state? It first went on the air on February 13, 1953. Back then, it was known as WKNB-TV. Over the years, the names changed, but the mission stayed the same. We have always focused on serving the local community. In 2009, we moved into a state-of-the-art building in West Hartford. This “green” building helps us use less energy while we bring you the news. Being part of the NBC family means we have the best tools to keep you safe and informed.
