WTNH debuted on June 15, 1948 as WNHC-TV on channel 6. The station was founded by the New Haven Register along with WNHC radio (1340 AM, now WYBC) and WNHC-FM (99.1 MHz., now WPLR). It is Connecticut's oldest television station, and the second-oldest in New England (WBZ-TV in Boston signed on less than a week earlier). It was originally an affiliate of the DuMont Television Network, and claims to have been the first full-time affiliate of that short-lived network.[2] It added NBC and CBS in 1949, with ABC following in 1950.
