Format Change: CHR 96 TIC-FM Becomes Hot AC 96-5 TIC-FM | June 15, 1994
Program Director Paul Cannon launches this ‘new’ incarnation of WTIC-FM with a few words, and a produced history lesson. “The Rap is gone. Forever.” Today, CBS Radio O&O WTIC-FM shares the same building with it’s AM counterpart, dinosaur WTIC AM 1080, Lite 100.5 WRCH and a few others. The station…. pretty much your typical Hot…
Bill Lenke, WTIC-FM Hartford | December, 1978
Bill (Lenke) Lee holds down one of the most envious jobs in all of radio – as the afternoon jock on New York’s 101.1 WCBS-FM, and around the world on CBS’ “Radio” app for mobile phones (yeah, its a modern technology thing…). Lee has always been one of our favorites! Bill uses his REAL name…

Lee Roberts, WTIC-FM Hartford | 1978 #2
More Lee Roberts, who was a staple of the early Hot Hits! ™ sound of WTIC-FM in the late 70s. You’ll love the music, but it’s the formatics that always got me! And the most unique set of jingles (made, of course, by TM Century) heard anywhere! Thanks again to Steve McVie, who has amassed…
Lee Roberts, WTIC-FM “96 TICS” Hartford | 1978
Thanks to Steve McVie out on Cape Cod, one of my all-time favorite stations. Mike Josephs “Hot Hits” ™ formatted CHR WTIC-FM. There are a number of “Hot Hits” stations profiled here and at other web sites, but none quite capture the engergy and creativity of TIC-FM. Prior to flipping to Top 40 in 1977,…
Bill Lenke on WTIC-FM Hartford | 1979
Broadway Bill Lee is caught on tape once again at the station that made him famous! WTIC-FM was in it’s “Hot Hits” ™ era, before WKSS arrived and took the CHR format to new heights. Here in 1979, 96 TICS is on FIRE! Lee used his real name in Hartford, before moving on to a…
The Damon Scott Show, 96-5 WTIC-FM Hartford | March 5, 2002
From the new Doug North collection, here’s a different look at a former Hot Hits ™ station that outgrew its old Top 40 roots. 2002 is not that long ago, but WTIC-FM is a heritage hit music station, and although these days there’s lots of voice tracking and nighttime syndication with the Billy Bush show,…
