WTIC-TV (channel 61) is a television station in Hartford, Connecticut, United States, serving the Hartford–New Haven market as an affiliate of the Fox network. It is owned by the Tegna subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group alongside CW station WCCT-TV (channel 20); Nexstar owns ABC affiliate WTNH (channel 8), and WCTX (channel 59), an independent station with MyNetworkTV. WTIC-TV and WCCT-TV share studios on Broad Street in downtown Hartford; WTIC-TV's transmitter is located on Rattlesnake Mountain in Farmington. The station was established in 1984 as an independent station, securing the Fox affiliation at the network's launch in 1986. The affiliation gave the station ratings success and the backing to launch a local newscast. From 2000 to 2013, the station was co-owned with the Hartford Courant, which led to newsroom collaboration and a significant expansion of local news programming as well as legal cases and criticism of the cross-ownership of the newspaper and the TV station. Tegna Inc. acquired WTIC-TV in 2019 as the result of divestitures related to Nexstar's purchase of Tribune Media. When Nexstar and Tegna merged in 2026, the combined company was allowed to keep three licenses in Connecticut.
