These listings are for the independent stations including Fox 61. I consider Fox stations independent being that these stations run only a couple hours of network shows a day with 20 hours a day of their own shows. This comes from July 11-17, 1992 TV Guide Hartford

Chase Broadcasting which owned WTIC TV Fox 61 was being sold to Renaissance which owned WTXX. As a result Renaissance had to put 20 WTXX up for sale. They wanted to keep the stronger shows WTXX owned to add to WTIC TV's schedule while selling WTXX with some weaker shows. Another option would be to sell the station excluding programming to a non profit group which would run the station as a non commercial outlet. Renaissance could then combine assets on WTIC TV to make a stronger station. Another option would to be to sell WTXX to a small ownership that would sell the broadcast day back to Renaiassance. Then WTXX would be managed by Renaissance. So there were lots of options for WTXX. The big rumor would be the station would be sold to a non commercial broadaster like TBN or a Shopping outfit like HSN. More on next post as sale would occur Spring of 1993.
