After having been unavailable on cable within Tulsa proper for the past seven years and virtually market-wide through its nine combined years of operation, in February 1992, KTFO management reached a deal with Tulsa Public Schools (TPS) to lease programming time on a tertiary educational access channel that was set to launch the following month on United Artists Cable (via a 1988 agreement with Tulsa Cable that required it to allocate an existing channel for a TPS secondary service if the provider's headend infrastructure was not rebuilt within four years to allow expansion of its channel lineup), and donate $40,000 for area schools to upgrade their television equipment. The leasing agreement was revoked by the district board on March 17, after provider parent TCI – which was not informed of the agreement until five days before it was set to take effect on that date – disagreed with the contractual terms. The contract was subsequently renegotiated, granting KTFO approval to lease airtime on the Tulsa Public Schools II service. Beginning on March 30, KTFO transmitted on TCI channel 41 (or channel 42 for subscribers with addressable set-top boxes) from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. weekdays and all day on weekends, when the school district was not carrying Tulsa Junior College telecourses over the channel space; the station's programming filled airtime on TCI channel 41 formerly occupied by a TPS bulletin board and programming from NASA Select (now NASA TV) that were shown on the TPS II service. (TCI would move KTFO/TPS II to channel 10 in January 1993, and subsequently ceded the channel space to KTFO full-time that July, while giving TPS II a full-time feed on channel 20.) By the fall of 1993, the station ran a wide variety of programs on its schedule – consisting of some children's programs during the morning hours, some first-run syndicated shows (including comedies) in the early evenings, off-network sitcoms and drama series, and older movies on weekends, as well as a limited amount of local programming (such as public affairs talk show "Oklahoma Forum", and viewer call-in shows "Out of Left Field" and "Open Line", all of which were hosted by former KJRH sports director Sam Jones). On November 3, 1993, San Antonio-based Clear Channel Television – which had purchased KOKI-TV three years earlier – entered into a local marketing agreement with RDS Broadcasting, under which Clear Channel/KOKI would provide programming, advertising and other administrative services for KTFO.
