Can’t we all just go back to these times where we weren’t so miserable and wanted to help each other….

I grew up in Connecticut and was 10 when President Kennedy was assassinated, it was obviously tragic and we were all deeply affected. If you weren't around at that time it's hard to imagine the importance and influence of WTIC radio and TV(channel 3) and have fond memories of personnel including Bob Steele and "Hap" Richard's. At the time, on our B&W TV, we had a total of five channels to choose from; 3, 8, 18, 22 and 30!

FIrst time in 60 years I ever heard of a shoving match between Jackie and a nurse. I doubt it happened.

THE Voice of Hartford Growing up, my family always started the morning with Bob Steele on the radio. As a matter of fact, our house in Enfield, CT was on Steele Road.

Stephen R. Rintoul...so that's where WSRR (WSTC) got the callsign. I worked for an iteration of WSTC called Fairfield County News Radio. WSTC teamed up with Norwalk's WNLK 1350 in the late 1990's doing part-time news reporting and anchoring a Sunday AM news shift from 7am-noon also running the board for some live call-in programs. Both stations aired news and talk programs including the likes of Neal Boortz out of Atlanta as Cox once owned the stations. There were two news shifts...6-9 AM and 4-7 PM. We also aired sports like high school football and UCONN basketball. And...I got to work with Don Russell who had worked for CT Public Radio's WEDW 88.5FM doing a calendar of events weekly. Mr. Russell did a talk radio program at WSTC...and I served as "call screener." As of 2011 WSTC is a part of WSHU Public Radio with NPR's news and talk. All news is done from the WSHU studios at the Sacred Heart University campus. WNLK is now a Catholic radio station Veritas Radio which also airs EWTN Radio programs. All "on the bird" to quote the shop talk...nothing local.

I'm 67, News people like Mr. Bertel are sorely missed in this vast wasteland we know as television. Nowadays we have many "news readers" but very few real reporters.

Ah the mundanity of human life was being discussed and how beautifully banal it sounded, it's what really defines us to be honest. And then in a flash, came one of the most important news events of the 20th century, just like that.

I goofed!-Brad Davis passed away in 2021.

Its hauting to hear mantovani play on as that sad day unfolded November 221963

I need this songer who song for voa pls this name

Quite an interesting timepiece but the subtitles superimposed over the graphics are a mess. A total lack of any grasp of basic grammar.

9:17 Who voices the weather here?

I remember the voice of Don Russell as a kid in the 1970s, and long to hear his voice again. Can any of you point me to a source of recordings of Rustici on WSTC AM?

Brad Davis passed away in 2121.

Wow, voices from the past. I remember hearing these guys on air back when I was a kid.

I had listen since I was child VOA Khmer

26:18 is the moment CT found out about the gunshots.

I never realized that radio shows like this existed! It was like social media of the olden days!

That teletype SFX heard at the end of the newscast behind Mr. Bertel was Track B14, "Teletypes," from the "Authentic Sound Effects, Vol. 2" album (Elektra EKS-7252) issued around 1964. From about the mid-to-late 1980's to 2020, 1010 WINS in New York used a loop derived from that track.

I listened to Bob next to my grandpa every morning and I think even my grandpa would puck if he heard all the lies that are being told by people from Fox News and the crap that’s being spewed sickening

If Bob Steele knew how WTIC Kenny was playing so far to the right, it be twisted and turning it is brave to be sick through his stomach

I am Korean and I have been Montgomery county, Maryland in 2018 and attended his conversation club in Queens Orchard Library. He taught me not only English but also Amercan Virtue. Because of my poor English I have diffculties to express my condolences propery. R.I.P.

I got to meet John Kennedy when he was a Senator running for President… I’ll never forget how sad I was when he was killed… Love Grandma Debbie

Oh yeah I showed up at the station but it was for TJ only.

I knew TJ Lambert. Miss POP and Ct. Those were the best days. Brock was our hangout too!!

First bulletin 26:15

"...made of old shoe tops..."

I still weep of this event so much promise the kennedy era❤ had

The talk show sounds a lot like the radio talk shows of today

I worker a tv conventio in 1969 sat had dinner with group of tv personalties during award ceremony..man with mustache much better looking in person..i was 19..

We also were able to tune in WTIC TV 3 as well as WNHC TV 8 in Suffolk County,N.Y. & much clearer than the NY stations this was before many people had cable

i read somewhere that "moon river" was jfk's favourite song

I was another who was on the Ranger Andy show in the early 1960s. 👋😃

Being only 3 months old when it happened I of course don't recall the time it happened but I've studied that assassination for many years and I'm thankful I was only a baby. Listening to this broadcast it seemed as though the United States was quite vulnerable to foreign hostility. That's frightening

Jim, I just now learned of your dad’s passing. Please accept my deepest condolences. I remember him well; my family moved to CT in 1966, and Dick Bertel was a familiar and friendly face on TV. He was a consummate broadcast professional, and very trustworthy to viewers. RIP, Dick.

Cannot read clearly the yellow type on this TV broadcast video.

Just out of curiosity, which were more shocking JFK assassination or 9/11?

I remember that evening, I think, it was so many years ago. Around the time of the move to Broadcast House, one of CT's sculptors, Frances Wadsworth, presented the new station with a sculpture called "The Broadcaster", a farmer with a basket hung from his left arm, his right arm/hand looked as if he had just withdrawn it from the basket with seeds in the palm of his hand. For some time after that, the sculpture would appear near the Channel 3 Logo, perhaps when it was time for the news. Have not seen it in many, many years.

8:07

First eye witness interviewed said two shots came from the hill ...later known as the grassy knoll. Operation Mockingbird reporter aaked for the womans address which she gave on air. WTF!? CIA mainstream news networks announced almost immediately that the shots cane from the Texas Schoolbook depository. The fix was in early.

"The shots came from the hill..." says one of the eyewitnesses. Hence why even today they are still covering up the facts about this monstrosity.

Bob Steele, Arnold Dean (sports), Charley Bagley (weather)

Awesome

I remember "word of the day" bought to you by Mr Bob Steel. He had integrity. The clown show WFSB broadcasts now does not.

26:20 "Floyd I have something "rather" important from the WTIC newsroom..." "Rather" has to be the biggest understatement of all time

It took a while for WTIC to learn of the shootings in Dallas

When T.V. was wholesome, not full of sexual innuendos by you know who.
