This station was the go-to source for New York Giants home football games that were blacked out in the NYC area from the late 50s through the early 70s. Channel 3's signal reached Westchester County, Fairfield County and the north shore of Long Island.

Around 1964, Travelers Insurance changed the name of its broadcasting division (and thus license-holder for the WTIC stations) from Travelers Broadcasting Service Corp. (as heard on this sign-on) to Broadcast-Plaza, Inc. (after the moniker of their "Broadcast House" facilities at 3 Constitution Plaza that'd opened in 1960); this was the owner-of-record prior to Travelers' sale of Channel 3 to Post-Newsweek Stations, Inc. in 1974.

@wannawatchu66 Channel 3 was sold in 1974, with call letters changed to WFSB-TV. WTIC Radio was also sold-off.
Eventually, the new owners of WTIC Radio purchased Channel 61.
Not long after, "Broadcast House" opened along the banks of the Connecticut River, which served as home of Channel 3 until a few years ago, and WTIC Radio until it was sold-off.
Channel 3 briefly was an independent station; but gained CBS-TV affiliation less than a year later when CBS sold-off Channel 18.

@hilarioph I'm sure they were not broadcasting 24 hours at that time - I don't think any station was - but yes, this is WTIC signing on for the very first time and is taken from that broadcast
