dbpprop:abstract
  • WQPT-TV is the PBS member station for the Quad Cities region of northwestern Illinois and eastern Iowa, broadcasting on digital channel 23. It is owned by Black Hawk College, a junior college in Moline, Illinois where the station is licensed. The station also operates an analog repeater station W48CK in Sterling, Illinois. The station signed on November 2, 1983. Until then, Iowa Public Television's Iowa City outlet, KIIN-TV, had been providing, since 1970, at least grade B coverage to most of the market (its transmitter was intentionally located at West Branch, halfway between Cedar Rapids and Davenport, in order to serve both the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area and the Quad Cities). Many cable systems on the Illinois side of the market also carried Chicago's WTTW and/or Peoria's WTVP. From 1992 to 2003, WQPT operated a satellite station, KQCT in Davenport. After WQPT boosted its signal to better cover the Iowa side of the market, it sold KQCT to Iowa Public Television, who renamed it KQIN.
