== Station History ==
WIIT signed on the air back on January 28, 1958 and signed on as an affiliate of ABC. Over the course of it's history, WIIT has had 9 owners and has been put up for sale 8 times. WIIT was locally owned for 9 years until 1967 when the original owners put WIIT on the market to be sold. Chapman Telecasters bought WIIT from the original owners in 1967. Chapman remained with WIIT for 8 years until 1975 when WIIT was sold once again, this time sold to Quincy Telecasters, Inc. WIIT's relationship with Quincy lasted 7 years until 1982 when WIIT was sold once again, this time to Palmer Communications. WIIT's relationship with Palmer lasted 7 years just like WIIT's relationship with Quincy, but from 1982-1989. Palmer sold WIIT to Lilly Broadcasting in 1989 and that relationship lasted 6 years from 1989-1995. WIIT was put up for sale for the 5th time, this time being sold to SJL Broadcasting. WIIT's relationship with SJL was the first time that a ownership period with WIIT lasted less than 5 years. WIIT's relationship with SJL lasted a mere 3 years from 1995 to 1998. SJL put WIIT on the market for sale in 1998 and Gray Television reached an agreement to purchase WIIT from SJL also in 1998. WIIT's relationship with Gray lasted 8 years and Gray sold WIIT in 2006 to Gannett. WIIT's relationship with Gannett lasted 9 years, the first time in over 40 years that an ownership relationship with WIIT lasted 9 years. Along with the ownership changes, affiliation changes also took place as a direct result of ongoing 2014-2015 fictional tv station realignment. WIIT switched the longtime ABC affiliation with the former CBS affiliate, WPQT to become the newest ABC affiliate for Quincy, Florida. WIIT changed the ownership in 2015 from Gannett to TEGNA Media due to the fact that Gannett had become TEGNA Media.
