Abstract
We explore corrections to electroweak parameters in the context of Extended Technicolor (ETC) models in which the ETC gauge-boson which generates the top-quark mass carries weak charge. For GeV there exist potentially large corrections to the decay width to -quarks. Interestingly, in contrast to the situation in ETC models where the gauge-boson which generates the top-quark mass is a weak singlet, the corrections may {\it increase} the branching ratio.
