== History ==
WEGK signed on the air back on September 22, 1956 and served as Port St. Joe's default ABC affiliate for 4 years until 1960 when WEGK switched affiliations with then newly formed WPVM. WEGK then switched to NBC since Port St. Joe was lacking an NBC affiliate and viewers piped in WUFD from Mexico Beach for NBC programming until WEGK remained with NBC for 35 years until 1995 when WEGK switched affiliations yet again with WTFB and then became a CBS affilate. WEGK remained as an CBS affiliate for nearly 20 years until late 2014 when the fictional tv station realignment occurred. WEGK then switched affiliations with WEY and became a CW affiliate. WEGK has remained with The CW ever since.
