From the beginning, the station was connected with NBC and ABC and was represented by Walker Representation Co. T. C. Oakley was Quincy Broadcasting&#039;s president at the time, and Joe Bonansinga was the station&#039;s first general manager. On July 27, 1953, the station acquired their DuMont transmitters on the same truck as neighbouring KHQA-TV (channel 7). The crews fought to see who could fly first. On September 4, 1953, WGEM began an interim transmission of two hours every night.\\n&lt;br\\\/&gt;&lt;br\\\/&gt;\\nWGEM shared its secondary ABC affiliation with CBS affiliate KHQA-TV in the 1960s. This arrangement ended in 1969, when WJJY-TV in Jacksonville, Illinois, became Quincy&#039;s ABC affiliate; when WJJY went bankrupt and shut down in 1971, WGEM resumed running a few ABC programming until the mid-1990s. Between 1990 until 1994, the station held a secondary affiliation with Fox, after which it shifted its Fox affiliation to a separate cable-only channel. WGEM-TV is one of the few and longest-running television stations in the US that has maintained the same call letters, owner, channel number, and principal network affiliation throughout its existence.\\n&lt;br\\\/&gt;&lt;br\\\/&gt;\\nSince the mid-to-late 1990s, WGEM has only used its call letters to identify itself.\\n&lt;\\\/div&gt;\\n&lt;\\\/div&gt;\\n&lt;script&gt;\\nconst toggleButton = document.getElementById(&#039;toggle-history&#039;);\\nconst historyInfo = document.getElementById(&#039;history-info&#039;);\\n\\ntoggleButton.addEventListener(&#039;click&#039;, () =&gt;
