WCCT-TV (channel 20) is a television station licensed to Waterbury, Connecticut, United States, serving the Hartford–New Haven market as the local CW outlet. It is owned by the Tegna subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group alongside Fox affiliate WTIC-TV (channel 61); Nexstar owns ABC affiliate WTNH (channel 8) and WCTX (channel 59), an independent station with MyNetworkTV. WCCT-TV and WTIC-TV share studios on Broad Street in downtown Hartford; WCCT-TV's transmitter is located on Rattlesnake Mountain in Farmington, Connecticut. This station was established in 1953 as WATR-TV, an NBC affiliate originally serving Waterbury, New Haven, and southern Connecticut. Following a transmitter upgrade by Hartford NBC affiliate WVIT in 1982, WATR relaunched as WTXX, a regional independent station and the first station owned by Odyssey Partners, which became Renaissance Communications. WTXX became Connecticut's UPN affiliate in 1995 and switched to The WB in 2001, and became a charter CW affiliate in 2006. Adopting the current WCCT-TV call sign in 2010, it has been managed by WTIC-TV since 1998 and owned by Tegna since 2019. When Nexstar and Tegna merged in 2026, the combined company was allowed to keep three licenses in Connecticut. The station commenced operations on September 10, 1953, as WATR-TV on channel 53, the second UHF station in Connecticut. It was owned by the Thomas and Gilmore families, along with WATR radio (1320 AM).
