KWQC-TV, virtual channel 6, is a television station licensed to Davenport, Iowa, USA, which serves as the NBC affiliate for the Quad Cities television market (comprising Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa, and Rock Island and Moline, Illinois). KWQC-TV is owned by New Young Broadcasting, with studios in downtown Davenport and transmitter located in Orion, Illinois.

KWQC-SD can be seen in analog on Mediacom cable channel 5 in the Quad Cities area. KWQC-HD can be seen on Mediacom digital cable channel 705 in the Quad Cities area. KWQC-WX can be seen on Mediacom digital cable channel 108 in the Quad Cities area.

KWQC originally signed on the air on October 31, 1949, as WOC-TV. The station was founded by B. J. Palmer, founder of the Palmer College of Chiropractic along with WOC radio (AM 1420 and FM 103.7, now WLLR-FM). Some say that the WOC calls stood for Wonders of Chiropractic though the Palmer family never acknowledged the phase in print or otherwise. Originally on channel 5, WOC-TV moved to channel 6 in 1952 due to interference with WOI-TV in Ames, Iowa. It has the distinction of being Iowa's and the Quad Cities' first television station, carrying programming from all four networks at the time (NBC, CBS, ABC and DuMont). However, it has always been a primary NBC affiliate owing to WOC radio's long affiliation with NBC radio.

Same-sex marriage in the U.S. state of Iowa became legal on April 3, 2009.

Iowa's first dealings with same-sex marriage came in 1998, after recent court cases on same-sex unions, starting in Hawaii, found that denying the right to marry to same-sex couples was incompatible with the Equal Protection Clause of the state constitutions of most states. Iowa legislators hurried to pass a local Defense of Marriage Act to prohibit marriage between gay and lesbian couples to avoid a similar court challenge.

In 2005, Lambda Legal filed a lawsuit on behalf of six Polk County same-sex couples and their children who were denied marriage licenses in Iowa, arguing that this denial violated the liberty and equal protection clauses in the state constitution. In 2007, the Polk County District Court ruled in favor of the couples, prompting the county to appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court. On April 3, 2009, the Iowa Supreme Court unanimously upheld the District Court's ruling holding that there was no important governmental interest in denying citizens marriage licenses based on their sexual orientation. Licenses were originally to be available 21 days after the ruling, on April 24, but the availability of licenses was subsequently postponed until April 27 due to a Furlough day.
