History edit
What would become WUTH-CD was originally W61AH (channel 61), a translator for New York City's WXTV, as Hartford originally did not have a separate Univision affiliate. It moved from channel 61 to channel 47, becoming W47AD, in 1984 due to the launch of WTIC-TV, and briefly changed its call letters to WXTV-LP in 1995 (before reverting to its translator call of W47AD). Late in 2001, after Entravision bought WHCT to serve as a full-power Univision affiliate, W47AD's call letters were changed to WUTH-CA. The station became a charter affiliate of Telefutura (the predecessor of UniMás) in 2002, and Entravision took over ownership of WUTH later that year.
