== History ==
=== As GSIR ===
On March 7, 1941, ABT (now known as CBT) assigned the callsign GSIR TV 10 to Sailorpolis for its first broadcast program, which was a translator from GRFL San Fransokyo. However, during the Fallout, ABT ended its affiliation with GSIR TV and the translator with GRFL, transitioning it to an independent station. This transition was facilitated by the sale of the station to the Watanabe Publishing Group (now the Watanabe Broadcasting Group) on June 13, 1957. The following day, on June 14, 1957, GSIR TV changed their callsign to GUGC TV. This change was made to avoid confusion with Sailorpolis' single low-powered broadcasting reception coverage. However, the GSIR callsign is still in use for the radio station GSIR FM 99.3, which plays Top 40 music.
=== As GUGC ===
On March 8, 1961, GUGC launched a local news program in color, "Channel 10 News," which aired from 5:00-6:00pm, and "Channel 10 Morning News," which aired from 4:00-9:00am. The station began focusing on regional sports in 1985, with the first coverage of high school soccer. It also aired off-network shows from the 50s and 60s. Starting May 11, 1991, GUGC began airing syndicated shows that had already premiered with many episodes, in collaboration with other media companies. 
In 1995, GUGC relocated to its new studio in San Fransokyo, marking a significant milestone for the station. This move allowed GUGC to expand its reach and potentially cater to a wider audience. However, the station's content remained exclusive, with shows not being distributed to other independent stations. 
GUGC then took a pivotal step in 1997 by introducing anime programming on weekends. This strategic decision likely attracted a new wave of viewers, particularly those interested in animation. "Sailor Moon," a popular anime series, became the first of its kind to grace the station's airwaves in 1997.
Years later, in 2009, GUGC further expanded its coverage by relaying the translator of G13NIW broadcast channel 13. This move aimed to bring GUGC's content to the eastern part of Ronja Foundland, potentially introducing the region to the station's unique programming. In 2012, Watanabe brought Max TV affiliate GBNB-TV as a sister station.
