Raymond Earl Baldwin was an American politician who served as a United States senator from Connecticut and also as the 72nd and 74th Governor of Connecticut. A conservative Republican, he was elected governor of Connecticut in 1938 during a Republican landslide promising a balanced budget, government aid to private business, and lower taxes. He sharply cut the state budget, producing a million dollars surplus. He was defeated for reelection in 1940, but was elected governor again in 1942 and 1944. He supervised a complex system of civil defense and statewide services on the homefront during the war. He planned an elaborate program to deal with the postwar reconversion of Connecticut's many warplane and munitions plants. He was elected to the Senate in the Republican landslide of 1946. As a spokesman for the small businesses of America, he compiled a conservative record in favor of less regulation, except for more regulation of labor unions through the Taft–Hartley Act. As chairman of a subcommittee of the Armed Services committee, Baldwin engaged in a long-running dispute with Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy. McCarthy alleged that Baldwin was whitewashing an episode in which Army prosecutors in 1944 gained the death penalty for German soldiers accused of massacring Americans at the Malmedy Massacre. Exhausted by the highly publicized controversy, Baldwin resigned from the Senate in December 1949 to become a state judge.

The network's scope of operations has expanded and contracted over the years and has at different points in time also included coverage of Connecticut elections, live anchored broadcasts and Election Night and Legislative Opening Day and a week-in-review program titled CT-N Capitol Report which debuted on Friday nights and ran continuously for 13 years. The network's focus on complete and balanced coverage without commercial interruption, editing or commentary has positioned it to be a window on Connecticut government and policy for many watershed events since 1999, including one governor's impeachment inquiry, political and policy responses to the 9/11 attacks and the Sandy Hook school shooting, as well as daily press briefings from the Governor's Office at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
