Windsor Community Television (WIN-TV) is a private, non-profit, corporation and was incorporated by  the State of Connecticut in January of 1982. WIN-TV is a  public, education, and government (PEG) cable community access provider.  The Hartford area franchise holder in 1981 was Times Mirror  Communication Inc. and was required, by a franchise agreement with the  Connecticut Department of Public Utilities Control (DPUC), to establish  Community Access Television in each of the six Hartford Franchise towns  once proper wiring passed a sufficient number of homes in each town.

Once  the station was incorporated, Times Mirror supported WIN-TV through  direct dollar grants, employed the Station Manager, and shared  equipment. With this strong support from the Franchise, WIN-TV was ready  to begin programming from its first home, the basement of Windsor  Public Library. Programming was created by community volunteers and we were on the air two hours each weekday evening when volunteers could  come to the station and run the tapes.

The station has grown since then to a 24 hour community station. With the ability to watch programming on demand as well as a mobile app coming soon.
