WHCT-LD, UHF digital channel 35, is a low-powered Jewelry Television-affiliated television station licensed to Hartford, Connecticut, United States. The station is owned by Venture Technologies Group and transmits from WCCC's Avon Mountain tower in West Hartford.

History

The WHCT call letters were once used on channel 18, which is now WUVN; the station adopted the call sign in August 2001. For the ten years before it had been W69CL, with a brief change to W32BV during a failed attempt to move it to channel 32.

In December 2019 Chicago-based Weigel Broadcasting agreed to purchase WHCT-LD for $1.5 million.[1]
