We develop a method for deriving integral representations of certain orthogonal polynomials as moments. These moment representations are applied to find linear and multilinear generating functions for $q$-orthogonal polynomials. As a byproduct we establish new transformation formulas for combinations of basic hypergeometric functions, including a new representation of the $q$-exponential function $\text{ }{{\varepsilon }_{q}}$.
Two families of associated Wilson polynomials are introduced. Both families are birth and death process polynomials, satisfying the same recurrence relation but having different initial conditions. Contiguous relations for generalized hypergeometric functions of the type 7F6 are derived and used to find explicit representations for the polynomials and to compute the corresponding continued fractions. The absolutely continuous components of the orthogonality measures of both families are computed. Generating functions are also given.
