WNGT has broadcast afternoon dramas since 1876 when it began broadcasting “Temptations In a Small Town” which ran from 1876 to 1924.  But the longest running afternoon drama is “Quad City.”  It began in 1928 and has been shown every Monday through Friday from noon until 3:00PM. 

The cities are in two different dimensions with two cities being in this dimension and two in a nearby dimension.  They are Hamilton and Broadling in this dimension and Strervan and Kansohor in the other dimension.  Each city is large and has unique features not found in the other cities yet they are similar in so many respects.  Each has many churches and many places condemned by churches.  There are also more than enough stories to keep “Quad City” on the schedule forever. 

Hamilton is a city of 894,000 people.  It has five TV stations and 12 radio stations that are always competing against each other.  There are 98 restaurants, 67 bars, 46 churches, 28 public and private schools, four universities, and Mayor Filo Meeks which has been in power since his contested election in 1956.  It seems like every four years his election is contested and allegations of corruption are thrown at him.  But each time he manages to be re-elected.  The viewers know he is corrupt.  But it is fun seeing his opponents try to prove it, but fail.   The city is a wonderful place to live and also a terrible place to live for those who are homeless or poor.  Their stories are presented in “Quad City” too.

Broadling is a city of 995,000 people.  It has nine TV stations and 16 radio stations that are just as competitive as the ones in Hamilton.  It has a stratotower that is five miles tall that is the home for 150,000 of the 995,000 citizens of the city.  The restaurants are in five eating districts in this orderly city which has a police force of 55,000 people and 400,000 synthetics.  But there is an active underworld that stays hidden from general public that usually pays off the police to keep operating.  But at times one of the families fails to pay protection money to the police and arrests are made. 

Strervan is a city of 1.1 million people.  It has 12 TV stations and 20 radio stations that are very competitive just like the ones in the two other cities.  It is far more advanced technically than the two cities in this dimension since it has an active spaceport instead of just airports like the first two cities have.  Often stories associated with Strervan take place in space which is where Kansohor exists.
