On May 24, 1979, the FCC granted a construction permit to Tolland County Broadcasting, Inc., for a new daytime-only radio station on 1170 kHz in Vernon. The firm's efforts were troubled by delays obtaining a site. Taking the call letters WRTT for "Radio Tri-Town", the station did not begin broadcasting until November 21, 1982, with programming of interest for  listeners in and near Vernon. The outlet went silent in 1985 due to financial issues; the station was purchased by Family Radio in 1985 for $136,000, with the transaction finalized in January 1986 and returned to the air with studios in Rockville Centre. In 1998, the studios were moved to the transmitter site on Penfield Drive in Ellington.
