NBC Connecticut, originally known as WKNB-TV, was founded on February 13, 1953, by the New Britain Broadcasting Company along with WKNB radio. The idea was to create Connecticut's second television station and the first on the UHF band, providing NBC programming to the Hartford-New Haven market. Over the years, the station changed hands several times, including ownership by NBC itself. Today, NBC Connecticut is owned and operated by NBCUniversal, a division of Comcast Corporation, as part of the NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations group. Based in West Hartford, Connecticut, NBC Connecticut covers a wide range of news topics including local breaking news, weather forecasts, sports, politics, health, and entertainment. NBC Connecticut delivers content through traditional television broadcasting, its website, mobile app, and various streaming platforms. **One interesting fact**: NBC Connecticut has a unique community outreach program called "Supporting Our Schools" that runs annually from September to October. This campaign focuses on helping teachers and students get the materials they need for a successful school year by partnering with DonorsChoose.org, allowing viewers to directly support local classroom projects and make a difference in Connecticut students' education.
