Dick Bertel anchors the "6 o'Clock Report" on March 1, 1974 for Channel 3, WTIC-TV, in Hartford, Connecticut. Ken Garee provides the weather report and George Ehrlich is the sportscaster. Reporters contributing stories are Bill Haskell, John Kennelly (from WCBS-TV in New York), Bill Mill, Ron Milligan, Tom Seem, Sherm Tarr, and Ginny Wiltse. Included in the broadcast are commercials typical of the time and a promo for a UConn Huskies basketball game that mentions WTIC legend Arnold Dean.
The primary significance of this recording is that it marks the start of the last week of Channel 3 as WTIC-TV and its ownership by the Travelers Insurance Company which founded the station with those call letters on September 23, 1957. On March 8, 1974, Post-Newsweek would close on its purchase of Channel 3 and change its call letters to WFSB.
