WUTH-CD


WUTH-CD, virtual channel 47, is a Class A UniMás-affiliated television station licensed to Hartford, Connecticut and serving the Hartford-New Haven television market. Owned by Entravision Communications, it is a sister station to Univision affiliate WUVN. The two stations share studios at Constitution Plaza in downtown Hartford and transmitter facilities on Birch Mountain Road in Glastonbury, Connecticut.

History

The station was originally a translator for New York City's WXTV, as Hartford originally did not have a separate Univision affiliate. It moved from channel 61 to channel 47 in 1984 due to the launch of WTIC-TV, and briefly changed its call letters to WXTV-LP in 1995. Late in 2001, when Entravision bought WHCT to serve as a full-power Univision affiliate, W47AD's call letters were changed to WUTH-CA. The station became a charter affiliate of Telefutura in 2002, and Entravision took over ownership of WUTH later that year.
