Companies in Connecticut already brag about being on WTNH. Search this topic and you will find their announcement pages, proudly telling the world they were featured on News 8. Every one of those features was a television segment: it aired once, and then it was gone, with nothing a customer can click today. This page is about the version that stays. Whether a business can buy an article on WTNH, what that article looks like, who it fits, how publishing works, what decides the price, and the one email that starts it.
The short answer: yes, a business can buy an article on WTNH
Yes. A business can be published on WTNH News 8 through a paid article placement on wtnh.com. This is not pitching a reporter, and it is not waiting to be chosen for a segment. It is a defined route: a sponsored article about your business, published on the station's own website, reviewed before it goes live, and permanent once published.
Arranging that placement is what we do. You do not need a publicist, a media contact, or a lucky news day. You need a business worth writing about and one email to us. If you want to understand how paid placements work across outlets before deciding, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content covers the landscape honestly.

What you actually get: your business in a News 8 headline
Picture the finished thing. A live article page on wtnh.com carries your business name in the headline and your story in the text: what you do, who you serve, and why Connecticut customers should choose you. It sits on the site the Hartford and New Haven market opens for news, weather and traffic, under the News 8 name the state has watched since television began here.
Here is the difference that matters. A television segment gives you a moment, and companies treasure that moment so much they build announcement pages about it, which tells you exactly how valuable this badge is. But the segment itself airs once and leaves nothing behind. The article gives you the badge as a permanent asset: a link you can send to any customer, any day, that lands on a real News 8 page about your business. You add WTNH to the "As Featured On" row on your homepage, and unlike the announcement of a segment, the proof is one click away and verifiable forever.
Why WTNH carries weight in Connecticut
WTNH is Connecticut's oldest television station. It signed on 15 June 1948 as WNHC-TV, the second oldest station in all of New England, and the call letters still tell the story: WNHC stood for New Haven, Connecticut, and today's WTNH reads as Television New Haven. This was also the first station in the country to use videotape for local programming, and one of the first anywhere to broadcast in colour. Connecticut television quite literally started here.
The newsroom's standing matches the history. News 8's journalism has collected Peabody, Emmy and Edward R. Murrow awards, the honours that mark a station its peers take seriously. As the market's ABC affiliate, licensed to New Haven and serving the whole Hartford and New Haven market, it is the name the state turns to.
The online weight is real too: in our outlet directory, WTNH carries a Domain Authority of 78 and roughly 2 million monthly organic visits. The figures support the point, but the point itself is simpler. When a Connecticut customer checks whether your business is established, an article on wtnh.com puts you on the most rooted news name in the state.
What a sponsored article on wtnh.com actually looks like
The product, stated precisely. The article is a full page on wtnh.com itself, on the station's real domain, in front of its real audience.
It is labelled as paid content. That label is part of what makes the placement legitimate and durable, not a weakness in it. The article is reviewed before it is published, so what goes live has passed a check. Once published, the placement is permanent; there is no campaign window after which your page comes down.
The article links to your website, and the links carry sponsored attributes, as paid content rules require. Anyone who promises you a plain editorial dofollow link from a paid WTNH placement is describing something that does not exist. What you get is a permanent, credible page about your business on a high authority Connecticut domain, sending real readers to you.
And the separation that this whole page turns on: a website article is not a television segment. Segments are earned or bought as broadcast, they air once, and they leave nothing linkable behind. The article is the version of being featured on News 8 that a customer can still find, read and click next year.
Who a WTNH article is right for, and who should skip it
This placement fits Connecticut businesses across the Hartford and New Haven market whose customers live in the state: professional firms, service companies, established retailers, healthcare and education adjacent businesses, any company whose buyers research before they commit. If being seen as established in Connecticut is worth money to you, this is the state's name to be seen on.
It does not fit a business with no Connecticut connection and no use for the badge. If your customers are all elsewhere and the News 8 name would mean nothing to them, buy the outlet their market trusts. We would rather tell you that plainly than sell you the wrong stage. If a bigger market next door is the right move, the PIX11 guide explains that route; if a national stage fits better, the CNN guide does the same.
How publishing on WTNH works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and what the article should be about. That email is the entire application. No form, no account, no retainer.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm that your business and your topic fit the outlet, and you receive your individual quote. What decides it is covered in the next section.
Step 3: The article. You can supply the article yourself, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way, it goes through review before anything is published.
Step 4: Review and go live. The article is reviewed, approved, and published on wtnh.com.
Step 5: Your live link. You receive the live link to your article, yours to send to customers, add to your site, and use in every proposal from that day on.
Your protection is part of the arrangement before you pay anything: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing. There is no version of this where you pay and end up with nothing.
What decides the price of a WTNH article
There is no public price for a WTNH article, because the price is set per placement. The deciding factors differ for every business: the scope of the article, whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, the placement specifics, and timing. A shelf price would price your article like everyone else's, so each placement is quoted individually, by email, with no obligation to proceed.
Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model behind the quote in full. The practical version: tell us the article you want, and you get one clear number for it, and that number is the whole price.
What a WTNH article will not do
The honest limits. The article is paid content and is labelled as such; it is not editorial coverage, it is not the News 8 newsroom endorsing your business, and it is not a guaranteed news segment. Nobody can guarantee you search rankings, a traffic figure, or sales from a placement like this, and anyone who promises those outcomes is selling something that does not exist. What the article does is one permanent job: it puts a credible, findable page about your business on Connecticut's original station's website, where it keeps working long after any segment would have been forgotten.
