WVIT, UHF digital channel 35 (virtual channel 30), branded on-air as NBC Connecticut, is an NBC owned-and-operated television station licensed to New Britain, Connecticut, United States and serving the Hartford–New Haven television market. WVIT's offices and main studios are located on New Britain Avenue in West Hartford, and its transmitter is located on Rattlesnake Mountain in Farmington. On cable, the station is carried primarily on channel 4 throughout the Hartford–New Haven television market.
Due to the close proximity of the Hartford–New Haven and Springfield–Holyoke, Massachusetts markets, many stations originating from Connecticut can be also be viewed in the Southern Pioneer Valley, though through pay-TV, most Pioneer Valley stations claim network and syndicated exclusivity over their programming north of the state line. Springfield NBC affiliate WWLP is currently the only Pioneer Valley station offered on Comcast's basic tier in Connecticut. Connecticut Charter customers have access to WWLP, but only with a digital set top box, and only in standard definition.
