WTIC Hartford, pt. 1 | ep. 3 of Connecticut Radio Memories | 2015 WWUH Documentary

Описание: EPISODE 3 – Radio Under the Umbrella Part 1 – The Radio Stations of the Travelers Insurance Company - Produced and Edited by Brandon Kampe

In 1925, the Traveler’s Insurance Company ventured into the radio business by launching WTIC AM. What would grow into Connecticut’s only 50,000 watt AM station was initially a public service and public-relations effort by the Travelers. In this episode, we look at the early programming of WTIC and then look at several well-known personalities from the station’s history including Ben Hawthorne (it’s first morning man), the great Bob Steele (it’s longest running morning man, familiar to millions over the decades), and many others including Floyd Richards, Dick Bertel, Bob Ellsworth, Bruce Kern, Ross Miller, Jean Colbert, Ed Anderson, George Malcolm-Smith, and Fred Wade. We also take a look at some of WTIC’s news people, and the stories they’ve covered over the decades.
