Quincy Media, Inc., formerly known as Quincy Newspapers, Inc., was a family-owned media company that originated in the newspapers of Quincy, Illinois. The company's history can be traced back to 1835, when the Bounty Land Register was one of four newspapers in Illinois. Over the next century, a number of mergers followed. The company moved into radio in 1947 and began television broadcasts in 1953.

The company was owned by the Oakley and Lindsay families of Quincy.

History

The corporation was formed in Quincy on June 1, 1926, as Quincy Newspapers after the merger of the Quincy Herald, direct descendant of the Illinois Bounty Land Register first published in Quincy in 1835, and the Quincy Whig-Journal, descendant of the Quincy Whig founded in 1838. The two papers were combined to form a single daily paper, the Quincy Herald-Whig.{{cite web|first=Britni |last=Townsend |date=December 2001 |url=http://www.lib.niu.edu/ipo/ihy011206.html |title=A "Bounty-full" Beginning: The Quincy Herald-Whig |access-date=October 9, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050317170952/http://www.lib.niu.edu/ipo/ihy011206.html |archive-date=March 17, 2005 }}

The Herald was purchased in September 1891 by three men from Rockford, Charles L. Miller, Hedley John Eaton and Edmund Botsford. Miller had earlier founded the Rockford Daily Register, that city's oldest newspaper. Subsequently, Miller brought to the Herald his brother-in-law and nephew, respectively, Aaron Burr Oakley and Ray M. Oakley, the first two generations of the Oakleys in the newspaper business in Quincy. Miller spent four years in Quincy, returning to Rockford in 1896 to join Harry M. Johnson in ownership of the Rockford Republic. He retired as editor of the Republic in 1913 and died in 1921. Hedley Eaton retired in 1913 and died in 1936. Eaton's son John Dewitt Eaton stayed with the paper as Advertising Manager until his retirement in 1955.

Two brothers from Decatur, Frank M. Lindsay, Sr. and Arthur O. Lindsay, Sr. bought the Quincy Whig in 1915, with Arthur Lindsay taking up residence in Quincy as president and manager. Frank Lindsay remained in Decatur with the Decatur Herald and formed an association with another Illinois newspaper family, the Schaubs. In 1920, the Lindsays consolidated the Whig and The Quincy Journal, founded in 1883.

QNI entered broadcasting in 1947, the year it started Quincy's first commercial FM station, WQDI. The following year QNI purchased Quincy Broadcasting Co. to operate WGEM, the city's second AM station. WQDI became WGEM-FM in 1953.

Quincy Broadcasting produced the Quincy region's first television broadcast on September 4, 1953, with the launch of WGEM-TV, the area's NBC affiliate. The building containing the ground floor studios of the WGEM stations was also the former home of the Tremont Hotel, and Quincy Media continues to operate it as the New Tremont Apartments, containing both long-term and extended stay accommodations.

In 1969, QNI and six other newspaper entities formed American Newspapers Inc., which bought The New Jersey Herald in Newton, New Jersey, converting the semi-weekly to a daily and Sunday publication in 1970. QNI acquired controlling interest in American Newspapers in 1980 and became sole owner in 1986.

Beginning in the 1970s, QNI began a major expansion into television. WSJV in Elkhart, Indiana (serving South Bend) was acquired in 1974;{{cite web|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/74-OCR/1974-09-09-BC-OCR-Page-0009.pdf|title=Elkhart UHF sold for $3.2 million

Also in 1995, The Merchant, a weekly shopper in Quincy was purchased by the company.

In June 2001, QNI purchased from Shockley Communications five ABC affiliates in Wisconsin: WKOW-TV in Madison, WAOW-TV in Wausau; WYOW in Eagle River (a satellite of WAOW); WXOW-TV in La Crosse; and WQOW-TV in Eau Claire (a semi-satellite of WXOW). Also purchased from SCC at the time was ProVideo of Wisconsin, Inc. consisting of a component digital online suite and a fully integrated non-linear online suite in Madison, Wisconsin. Concurrent with the Shockley purchase, KTTC entered into a shared services agreement with KXLT-TV, the Fox affiliate in Rochester, Minnesota. KTTC provides all services for KXLT excluding sales, traffic, and programming.

File:Quincy Newspapers Inc logo.pngOn July 1, 2006, QNI purchased KWWL, the NBC affiliate in Waterloo, Iowa, from Raycom Media. In February 2009, QNI purchased Crandon, Wisconsin's WBIJ from the widow of the station's founder, with the intention to operate the station as a satellite station of WAOW;{{cite web |url=http://www.televisionbroadcast.com/article/74662 |title=Quincy Takes WBIJ for $1.55 Million |date=February 13, 2009 |work=TelevisionBroadcast.com |access-date=February 14, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090218063704/http://www.televisionbroadcast.com/article/74662 |archive-date=February 18, 2009 |url-status=dead }} QNI subsequently renamed the station WMOW to conform with its other Wisconsin properties.

On February 11, 2014, Quincy announced plans to acquire a number of small and mid-market stations from Granite Broadcasting, including WEEK-TV in Peoria, KBJR-TV in Superior, Wisconsin, KRII in Chisholm, Minnesota (a satellite of KBJR), and WBNG-TV in Binghamton, New York (the company's first CBS affiliate; WEEK and KBJR/KRII are NBC affiliates). As part of the deal, Quincy originally planned to purchase WPTA, the ABC affiliate in Fort Wayne, Indiana, from Malara Broadcast Group, and provide services to ABC affiliate WHOI and MyNetworkTV affiliate WAOE in Peoria, NBC affiliate WISE-TV in Fort Wayne, and CBS affiliate KDLH in Duluth, Minnesota.{{cite news|title=Quincy Buying Stations From Granite, Malara|url=http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/74018/quincy-buying-stations-from-granite-malara|access-date=February 11, 2014|newspaper=TVNewsCheck|date=February 11, 2014}} In November 2014, the deal was reworked so that Quincy would acquire WISE and provide services to WPTA, retaining the arrangement between the stations established by Granite.{{cite web|title=Amendment to Agreements and Description of Transaction (KBJR-TV)|url=https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS_Attachment/getattachment.jsp?appn=101656471&qnum=5120©num=1&exhcnum=1|website=CDBS Public Access|publisher=Federal Communications Commission|access-date=November 25, 2014|format=PDF|date=November 24, 2014|archive-date=November 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117044843/https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS_Attachment/getattachment.jsp?appn=101656471&qnum=5120©num=1&exhcnum=1|url-status=dead}} In July 2015, the deal was reworked yet again; Quincy would, yet again, acquire WPTA instead of WISE, and Malara's stations would be acquired by SagamoreHill Broadcasting. Quincy also proposed to wind down its shared services agreements with WISE and KDLH within nine months of the sale's completion: both stations would move their existing network affiliations to WPTA and KBJR, and become independently-operated stations airing The CW.{{cite web|title=Amended Description of Agreements, Description of Transaction, and Request for Temporary Waiver|url=https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS_Attachment/getattachment.jsp?appn=101683852&qnum=5120©num=1&exhcnum=2|publisher=Quincy Newspapers, Inc.|access-date=August 1, 2015|archive-date=September 25, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925182556/https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS_Attachment/getattachment.jsp?appn=101683852&qnum=5120©num=1&exhcnum=2|url-status=dead}} On September 15, 2015, the FCC approved the deal.[https://cdbs.recnet.com/corres/?doc=60546 Letter] CDBS Public Access, Federal Communications Commission, Retrieved September 15, 2015

In 2015, the company's flagship title dropped Quincy from its masthead and became simply the Herald-Whig. In 2016, the Herald-Whig and Quincy Media applied for a demolition permit for the historic Morgan-Wells House in Quincy for expansion of their offices. The NRHP-listed local landmark was the home of notable Quincy residents and institutions for over a century, now demolished.{{Cite web |url=http://www.wgem.com/story/33411837/2016/10/Monday/quincy-city-council-approves-demolition-of-421-jersey |title=Quincy City Council approves demolition of 421 Jersey - WGEM.com: Quincy News, Weather, Sports, and Radio |access-date=July 18, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224113828/http://www.wgem.com/story/33411837/2016/10/Monday/quincy-city-council-approves-demolition-of-421-jersey |archive-date=February 24, 2018 |url-status=dead }}

On May 21, 2018, it was announced that Quincy Media would acquire KDLH outright for $792,557 and WISE for $952,884. While the FCC normally prohibits one company from owning two television licenses in the same market when both are among the top four rated stations, Quincy submitted a filing saying that during the November 2017 "sweeps" period KBJR-TV was the top ranked station while KDLH placed fifth, and that WPTA was the second ranked station while WISE-TV placed fifth. The sale was completed on August 1.{{cite web|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1789840&Service=DT&Form_id=905&Facility_id=4691|title=Consummation Notice|work=CDBS Public Access|publisher=Federal Communications Commission|access-date=August 8, 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/prefill_and_display.pl?Application_id=1789842&Service=DT&Form_id=905&Facility_id=13960|title=Consummation Notice|work=CDBS Public Access|publisher=Federal Communications Commission|access-date=August 8, 2018}}
