BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – WCAX-TV hit the airwaves for the first time 70 years ago today.
What started as a bold venture on September 26, 1954, to send a TV signal from the top of Mount Mansfield into the homes of Vermonters, has now become a state institution dedicated to community service.
Katharine Huntley spoke with Channel 3 vice president and general manager Jay Barton about where the station has been and about his hopes and dreams for the future.
