KWQC TV 6

KWQC TV 6 is a TV station in Davenport, Iowa, USA covering NBC network programs, local news and weather.

KWQC TV 6 is an affiliate of the NBC Television Network.

KWQC TV 6 originally signed on the air on October 31, 1949, as WOC TV. The station was founded by B. J. Palmer, founder of the Palmer College of Chiropractic. It has been said that the WOC call letters stood for Wonders of Chiropractic, though the Palmer family never acknowledged that that was the case. WOC was Iowa's and the Quad Cities' first television station. In 1986 the Palmers announced that they were selling the WOC and KIIK radio properties to Vickie Anne Palmer and her then husband J. Douglas Miller. Due to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules of the time, channel 6 changed its calls to KWQC (Welcome to the Quad Cities) so as not to confuse the two properties. KWQC was sold to Broad Street Television in 1989 and to Young Broadcasting in 1995.

This TV station is owned by Young Broadcasting Inc..
