Is KOKI-TV on cable?
KOKI-TV
KOKI-TV, virtual channel 23 (UHF digital channel 22), is a Fox-affiliated television station licensed to Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. The station is owned by the Cox Media Group subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, as part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV-affiliate KMYT-TV (channel 41); KOKI and KMYT are, in turn, co-owned with local radio stations KRMG (740 AM and 102.3 FM), KRAV-FM (96.5), KWEN (95.5 FM) and KJSR (103.3 FM), as well as local cable television provider Cox Communications.
KOTV-DT
KOTV-DT, virtual channel 6 (UHF digital channel 45), is a CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. The station is owned by Griffin Communications, as part of a duopoly with Muskogee-licensed CW affiliate KQCW-DT (channel 19). The two stations share studios at the Griffin Communications Media Center on North Boston Avenue and East Cameron Street in the downtown neighborhood's Tulsa Arts District; KOTV's transmitter is located on South 273rd East Avenue (just north of the Muskogee Turnpike) in Broken Arrow. On cable, the station is available on Cox Communications channel 6 in standard definition and digital channel 1006 in high definition.
KTOK
KTOK is currently affiliated with Fox News Radio, and starting in April 2007, with Oklahoma City NBC-TV affiliate KFOR-TV (Oklahoma's News Channel 4.) along with sister station KGHM (AM) 1340 The Game, in the case of local breaking news or severe weather, both stations along with their other Oklahoma City iHeartMedia, Inc. sister stations simulcast KFOR-TV's extended weather or news coverage. In the past KTOK had been affiliated with Oklahoma City ABC-TV affiliate KOCO-TV (Eye Witness 5 News.) and ABC News Radio for several years.
KITV
The station signed on the air on April 16, 1954, as KULA-TV, launching at 10:30 a.m. with a test pattern, followed by its inaugural sign-on premiere party at 6 p.m., and two movies from 7 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. Prior to its launch, it had planned to use the call letters KABS-TV before settling on the KULA calls, which came from its then sister AM station under the ownership of Pacific Frontier Broadcasting Company, whose owner Jack A. Burnett had applied for a TV license to operate KULA on channel 2 as the channel 4 allocation was being sought after by rival radio stations KGU and KPOA, but after the application by the two stations fell through the FCC awarded the channel 4 allocation to Burnett instead. The station has been an ABC affiliate since its sign-on, making KITV one of the two major television stations in Honolulu that has never changed its network affiliation; local CBS outlet KGMB (originally on channel 9, now on channel 5) is the other. They are also the only station in Hawaii to broadcast in the same channel position since its sign-on. It also shared programming from Dumont with KONA (then at channel 11, now KHON-TV on channel 2), until its demise in 1955.
KOKI-TV
, KOKI-TV broadcasts 55½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with nine hours on weekdays, 5½ hours on Saturdays and five hours on Sundays); it is the highest total of hours devoted to local news programming among the four news-producing television stations in the Tulsa market and the highest overall in the state of Oklahoma. In addition, the station produces the ten-minute sports highlight program "Fox 23 Sports This Weekend", which airs Saturdays and Sundays at 9:50 p.m. year-round, and "High School Football Tonight", a half-hour high school football highlight show that airs Fridays at 11:00 p.m. from August to November. KOKI may shift regularly scheduled newscasts that it must preempt to accommodate Fox Sports event telecasts – such as the weekend editions of the 5:00 p.m. newscast – to sister station KMYT (which has also carried a full simulcast of the weekday edition of "Fox 23 News This Morning" from September 2014 to December 2017).
KOCO-TV
KOCO-DT2, branded as "MeTV Oklahoma City", is the MeTV-affiliated second digital subchannel of KOCO-TV. Over the air, it broadcasts in standard definition on VHF digital channel 7.2 (or virtual channel 5.2 via PSIP). On cable, KOCO-DT2 is available on Cox Communications digital channel 222 in the Oklahoma City area, and on Suddenlink Communications systems throughout western Oklahoma. In addition to carrying MeTV programming, KOCO-DT2 is also designated as an alternate ABC affiliate, and carries network (and occasionally, syndicated) programs that KOCO must preempt to carry extended breaking news or severe weather coverage or special event programming on its main channel.
KQCW-DT
On September 18, 2006, following the completion of Griffin's acquisition of KQCW and coinciding with the station's affiliation change to The CW, KOTV began producing a half-hour prime time newscast at 9:00 p.m. for channel 19, titled "The News on 6 at 9:00 on CW12" (the program's title was later revised slightly to correspond with KQCW's branding change to "CW 12/19" in September 2007 and then to "Tulsa CW" in July 2009). Originally debuting as a weeknight-only program, and first anchored by then-KOTV reporters Omar Villafranca and Jennifer Loren as well as meteorologist Katie Green, it became a competitor to an hour-long newscast in that timeslot on KOKI-TV, which had become the ratings leader in the time period since the Fox affiliate established its in-house news department in February 2002. On that same date, through an agreement with news-talk radio station KRMG (740 AM), KQCW also began airing an hour-long television simulcast of the "KRMG Morning Show"s weekday 6:00 a.m. hour. (Ironically, KRMG would become a sister property to KOKI after Cox Media Group finalized its purchase of channel 23 in December 2012.) KQCW discontinued the KRMG simulcast after the September 10, 2011 telecast.
KOCO-TV
On July 24, 2012, Hearst Television and Weigel Broadcasting announced that Hearst had renewed affiliation agreements with MeTV for eight of the group's affiliates through 2015, and agreed to add the classic television network on digital subchannels of KOCO-TV and its sister stations in Boston, Baltimore, Sacramento and Greensboro. The This TV affiliation rights for the Oklahoma City affiliation were subsequently acquired by Family Broadcasting Group, then-owner of independent station KSBI (channel 52, now a MyNetworkTV affiliate); however, because KOCO's MeTV contract did not commence for another two weeks, KSBI was forced to share the This TV affiliation with KOCO-DT2 after KSBI-DT2 began carrying the latter network on September 17, 2012. KOCO-DT2 affiliated with MeTV on October 1, 2012, at which time, KSBI became the market's exclusive This TV affiliate. On August 28, 2017, KOCO-DT2 switched to a 16:9 widescreen standard definition format; prior to the upgrade, ABC and syndicated programs presented in widescreen were transmitted on KOCO-DT2 in a horizontally compressed format to fit the subchannel's 4:3 aspect frame.
WOKI
WOKI is a United States FM radio station serving the Knoxville, Tennessee, area with a news-talk format. It is owned by Cumulus Media.
KOTV-DT
On September 18, 2006, following the closure of Griffin's purchase of that station from the Cascade Broadcasting Group and coinciding with the station's affiliation change to The CW, KOTV began producing a weeknight-only, half-hour newscast at 9:00 p.m. for KQCW. (The program was expanded to include Saturday and Sunday editions on October 27, 2007, with the weeknight editions expanding to one hour on June 17, 2013; the weekend editions would also expand to an hour five years later, in September 2018.) It directly competes against Fox affiliate KOKI's established hour-long prime time newscast, which had become the ratings leader in that time slot in the years since that program's debut upon the February 2002 launch of channel 23's news department. KOTV subsequently added a weekday morning newscast to KQCW on January 7, 2008, when the 8:00 a.m. hour of "Six in the Morning" was migrated to that station to allow channel 6 to comply with carriage requirements implemented by CBS at the beginning of the year that required its affiliates to carry the full two-hour broadcast of "The Early Show" (which was replaced by "CBS This Morning" in January 2012).
KNWA-TV
This did not pose as much of a problem as it may have seemed, given the high penetration of cable and satellite service in this area. The only station that has adequate coverage throughout the market from a single transmitter is AETN's KAFT. Cable and satellite are all but essential for acceptable television in Northwest Arkansas due to its rugged terrain. For example, Dish Network and DirecTV carried KPBI-CA while it was the Fox affiliate even though those carriers usually do not offer low-power stations. After the split, KPBI-CA was dropped in favor of KFTA. On the other hand, the split improved Fox's coverage and enables high definition Fox programming in this market as KPBI-CA is low-power and does not have a digital transmitter, unlike KNWA and KFTA. According to their FCC filings, both stations have digital transmitters licensed for one million watts each compared to five million watts for an analog UHF transmitter. Thus, their digital coverage areas well exceed the analog coverage areas of both KFTA (2.5 million watts) and especially KNWA.
KOKI-TV
As part of a series of piecemeal sales announced on July 19, 2012 that also involved the larger Nexstar Broadcasting Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group, Newport Television announced that it would sell KOKI-TV and KMYT as well as fellow Fox affiliate WAWS (now WFOX-TV) and the intellectual assets of CBS affiliate WTEV-TV (now WJAX-TV) in Jacksonville, Florida to the Cox Media Group subsidiary of Atlanta-based Cox Enterprises for $253.011 million. The purchase placed the KOKI-KMYT duopoly under common ownership with Cox Radio's Tulsa cluster of KRMG (740 AM and 102.3 FM), KRAV-FM (96.5), KWEN (95.5 FM) and KJSR (103.3 FM), and, in the first instance since the 2003 repeal of an FCC cross-ownership ban in which the owner of a local cable provider acquired a television station in the same market, also made the two stations sister properties to Cox Communications, which has been the dominant cable operator in northeastern Oklahoma since it acquired Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI)'s Tulsa-area franchise in April 2000. The FCC approved the transaction on October 23, 2012; the sale was finalized on December 3. Although the sale separated KOKI/KMYT from its former radio sisters under Clear Channel ownership, iHeartMedia's Tulsa cluster continued to operate out of the Memorial Drive facility until the summer of 2017, when Cox moved its Tulsa-area radio stations into the building and iHeart moved its local stations into a new facility on Yale Avenue and 71st Street (northeast of Oral Roberts University) in southeast Tulsa's Richmond Hills section.
WOCK-CD
WOCK-CD, virtual channel 13 (VHF digital channel 4), is a low-powered, Class A independent television station licensed to Chicago, Illinois, United States. Owned by Skokie-based KM Communications, the station primarily broadcasts paid programming. WOCK-CD's transmitter is located on the John Hancock Tower.
KOBI
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
KOBI shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 5, on February 17, 2009, the original target date on which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 15 to VHF channel 5 for post-transition operations.
KOKI-TV
From 1989 to 1992, KOKI carried regular season and postseason college basketball games involving teams from the Big Eight Conference (distributed by Raycom Sports) and the Missouri Valley Conference (distributed by Creative Sports Marketing), which gave the station rights to select regular season games featuring the Oklahoma Sooners, the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Most college basketball telecasts on aired on the station on Saturday afternoons, although it also occasionally carried prime time games on weeknights, specifically during the Big Eight and Missouri Valley men's tournaments. Under the Raycom agreement, KOKI also carried tape delayed broadcasts of Oklahoma Sooners football games in late night on the Sunday after the date the game was held. From 2005 to 2010, channel 23 also served as the official local broadcaster of OSU-produced analysis and magazine programs, including the weekly shows of the respective head coaches of the Cowboys' basketball, baseball and football teams (all of the broadcasts were hosted by then-sports director Steve Layman, and were also syndicated on fellow Fox affiliate KOKH-TV in Oklahoma City).
KTUZ-TV
A construction permit application to build a television station on UHF channel 30 was submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by a group called OKC-30 Television, LLC on July 30, 1996, with the callsign KAQS assigned to the license on September 27. The station's callsign was later changed to KQOK on August 17, 2000. The station signed on the air three months later on November 10, branded as "OK30", under the ownership of Little Rock-based Equity Broadcasting Corporation. Under Equity ownership, the station held a primary affiliation with home shopping channel America's Collectibles Network, and also carried some religious programs and children's television series compliant with the FCC's educational programming guidelines. For a brief period, KQOK also aired reruns of the classic western series "Bonanza" and national newscasts produced by the Independent News Network.
In early 2004 Equity Broadcasting acquired KUOK (channel 35) in Woodward, and low-power stations KCHM-LP (channel 36, now KUOK-CD) and K69EK (channel 69, now Estrella TV affiliate KOCY-LP on channel 48) in Oklahoma City, and KOKT-LP (channel 20; now defunct) in Sulphur. On May 27 of that year, Equity sold KQOK to Oklahoma City-based Tyler Media Group, becoming the company's first television station property. Under Tyler Media, channel 30 became a Telemundo affiliate on December 27, 2004; the station's affiliation switch had been delayed from an original target date of December 1. Equity had earlier switched the affiliations of KUOK and the low-power stations in Oklahoma City and Sulphur to Univision on May 8, converting the latter three stations into translator stations of KUOK. The station's callsign was also changed to KTUZ-TV (after its sister radio station KTUZ-FM [106.7 FM], which maintained a Regional Mexican music format). To accommodate the station's plans to launch local programming catering to Oklahoma's Latino community, Tyler Media expanded the company's existing Shields Boulevard facility, constructing two production studios for use for KTUZ's news and public affairs programming, and a third, larger studio for varied usage, including possible use for town hall events. The company also hired around ten employees to help manage KTUZ-TV's operations.
KUOK-CA
The station first signed on the air in 1997 as KDSA-LP, carrying programming from The Worship Network, which had already broadcast on KMNZ (channel 62, now KOPX-TV) before and after that station became the market's Pax TV (now Ion Television) owned-and-operated station. In 2000, KDSA affiliated with religious broadcaster Daystar. After the affiliation switch to Univision was announced, Daystar programming was moved to upstart O&O station KOCM (channel 46) in December 2003. In the summer of 2004, the station requested to the Federal Communications Commission to have its call letters changed to KUOK-CA, which was made official that fall.
KAUT-TV
On cable, KAUT is available on Cox Communications channel 16 (standard definition) and digital channel 716 (high definition), and AT&T U-verse channels 43 (standard definition) and 1043 (high definition) in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. (Cable channel assignments for KAUT elsewhere within the Oklahoma City DMA vary depending on the provider.)
KOCY-LP
On June 25, 2008, Equity announced that it would sell KUOK, its low-power repeaters and KUTU to Luken Communications (owned by former Equity executive Henry Luken). That December, Equity Media Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection; offers by Luken Communications to acquire Equity-owned stations in six markets were later withdrawn. KUOK and its translators were sold at auction to the Tyler Media Group on April 16, 2009; this effectively created a duopoly between KUOK and Telemundo affiliate KTUZ-TV (channel 30).
KXLY-TV
KXLY-TV, virtual channel 4 (VHF digital channel 13), is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Spokane, Washington, United States and also serving Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The station is owned by the Spokane Television Group, a subsidiary of Morgan Murphy Media. KXLY-TV's studios are located on West Boone Avenue in Spokane, and its transmitter is located on Mount Spokane. KXLY's MeTV-affiliated second digital subchannel is also seen in the Yakima–Tri-Cities market on sister stations and fellow ABC affiliates KAPP (channel 35.2) and KVEW (channel 42.2).
Kentucky Channel
The Kentucky Channel is broadcast over the third digital subchannel of all of KET's fifteen (15) principal broadcast relay stations, and on WKMJ-DT2. The channels is also available to several cable television systems throughout and within the state, including Mediacom, Charter/Spectrum, Comcast/Xfinity, Zito Media, Suddenlink Communications and a few dozen locally owned cable companies in the state. A few out-of-state cable television systems also carry the Kentucky Channel, along with the flagship KET service, especially those who are based out-of-state, but also serves certain Kentucky communities along its boundaries, most notably including the cable systems of Cincinnati Bell and the Lafayette, Tennessee-based North Central Telephone Cooperative. Some select videos of KET's original programming (recent or archived) can also be viewed on the network's website.
KOCY-LP
After being acquired by Equity Broadcasting Corporation, the station became a Univision affiliate on May 8, 2004, as one of three Oklahoma-licensed translator stations of the then six-station two-state network "Univision Arkansas-Oklahoma", with Woodward-based KUOK (channel 35) as its Oklahoma flagship. KUOK, K69EK and three low-power stations that Equity also acquired to become KUOK's translators (KCHM-LP channel 36, now KUOK-CD; Sulphur-based KOKT-LP channel 20; and KUTU-CA channel 25 in Tulsa), originally relayed Univision programming across portions of Oklahoma via a simulcast from then-sister station KLRA-LP (channel 58) in Little Rock, Arkansas. Prior to this, Univision was only receivable via local cable providers such as Cox Communications, which carried its programming from the Spanish language network's national feed; that feed was eventually replaced by a direct-from-studio fiber optic feed of KUOK (whose schedule now mirrors the national feed outside of local advertising, news inserts and occasional paid programming substitutions, and provided improved reception of the station throughout the market than that receivable over-the-air prior to the digital transition).
KOKH-TV
KOKH-DT2 is the Charge!-affiliated second digital subchannel of KOKH-TV, broadcasting in widescreen standard definition on UHF digital channel 24.2 (or virtual channel 25.2 via PSIP). On cable, KOKH-DT2 is available on Cox Communications digital channel 219 in the Oklahoma City area.
KCEB (Tulsa)
A group of prominent corporate executives and community leaders in the Tulsa area, known as "Tulsa 23, Ltd." (led by managing partner Benjamin F. Boddie and investors that included former Williams Companies CEOs John H. Williams and Charles P. Williams, who were also responsible for the redevelopment in downtown Tulsa including the establishment of the Williams Center, the Bank of Oklahoma Tower and the Tulsa Performing Arts Center), was awarded a new station license on UHF channel 23 in early 1980. The group signed on the new station, KOKI-TV, as an independent station on October 23, 1980. KOKI affiliated with the Fox Broadcasting Company when that network launched in October 1986; the station (which has been owned by the Cox Media Group subsidiary of Cox Enterprises since 2012) launched a news department in February 2002 under the ownership of Clear Channel Communications, and gradually converted to a news-intensive schedule (carrying 48 hours of newscasts each week ), in addition to airing sitcoms, drama series, talk and court shows.
KTUL
In recent years, KTUL has traditionally ranked second in terms of total day news viewership, behind CBS affiliate KOTV. However, since the early 2010s, the station places a strong third among the local television news outlets in the Tulsa market, behind KOTV and Fox affiliate KOKI-TV, with which it trades places for that position; channel 8's 10:00 p.m. newscast usually places second in the market behind KOTV, and ahead of KJRH and KOKI-TV.
KOKI-TV
The slogan used to promote its film offerings from the station's sign-on until 1984, "Oklahoma's Movie Star" (based off the title of the station's "Movie Star" film presentations), would be the center of a federal trademark infringement lawsuit that Tulsa 23 Ltd. filed against Home Box Office Inc. in October 1982 in over the "We Are Your Movie Star" image campaign implemented by Cinemax earlier that year. James Ellison, the U.S. District Court judge presiding over the case in the Oklahoma Eastern District court, granted an injunction against Home Box Office in November 1983, on grounds that the Cinemax campaign infringed upon KOKI's trademark. HBO appealed the ruling in the Denver-based Tenth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which upheld Ellison's injunction order, forcing Cinemax to discontinue the campaign and begin developing a replacement on December 9.
KOTI
KOTI, virtual channel 2 (VHF digital channel 13), is a television station licensed to Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States. It is a satellite station of Medford-licensed NBC affiliate KOBI (channel 5) that is owned by California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc. KOTI's transmitter is located atop Stukel Mountain; master control and internal operations are based out of KOBI's studios on South Fir Street in downtown Medford.
KTUZ-TV
KTUZ-TV, virtual channel 30 (UHF digital channel 29), is a Telemundo-affiliated television station serving Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States that is licensed to Shawnee. It is the flagship station of locally based Tyler Media Group, and is operated as part of a duopoly with Univision affiliate KUOK (channel 36). It is also a sister station to Estrella TV affiliate KOCY-LP (channel 48).
KAUO-LD
The station sale to DTV America Corporation was instituted in early 2016. DTV America signed on KAUO-LD upon the station’s callsign change in June 2016. It became a Bounce TV affiliate. The Doctor Television Channel (DrTV) returned to the Amarillo area through KAUO-LD2, and the Katz Broadcasting-operated comedy network Laff became available on the third subchannel (the network can also be seen on NBC affiliate KAMR-TV's third digital subchannel). DrTV was previously available via KLKW-LD2 until December 2015. In March 2018, the station added Quest programming to its seventh digital subchannel. In June 2018, the station's fourth digital subchannel replaced Cozi TV with Justice Network.
KXLF-TV
After Big Horn shut down KOUS-TV and moved its programming to KSVI in 1993, KCTZ became a satellite of KSVI. Later that year, Evening Post Publishing Company acquired the station and made it a satellite of KXLF-TV; two Cordillera-owned translators, K26DE (channel 26) in Bozeman and K43DU (channel 43) in Butte, then began carrying most of KSVI's programming (including ABC programming), as well as local Bozeman newscasts produced by Cordillera. After KWYB (channel 18) signed on in September 1996 and took the ABC affiliation in the Butte-Bozeman market, K43DU was taken off-the-air (the repeater was sold to Montana State University in 2001 and now carries Montana PBS); on October 31, after K26DE's ABC affiliation ended in advance of the launch of KWYB repeater K28FB (channel 28, now KWYB-LD), KCTZ became a Fox affiliate, and channel 26 became a repeater of KXLF. During this time, channel 7 also took on a secondary affiliation with UPN.
KOTA-TV
On February 1, 2016, Gray moved the KOTA-TV intellectual unit–call letters, programming, ABC affiliation and staff–to RF channel 7, while moving the KEVN intellectual unit to low-powered KEVN-LD on RF channel 23. The station moved its virtual channel to 3, while continuing to transmit on RF channel 7, while KEVN-LD began transmitting on virtual channel 7. The former KOTA has changed its call sign to KHME, and broadcasts MeTV and This TV subchannels on virtual channel 23, using KOTA's former RF channel 2.
KOKI-TV
Since the news department's launch and its subsequent expansion, ratings for KOKI's newscasts have statistically ranked at a strong third to, at times, second place among the Tulsa market's television news outlets; the station has seen some slow growth in viewership for its newscasts since the late 2000s, amid continuing stagnant ratings for historical last place finisher KJRH and ratings declines for once-dominant KTUL in recent years. The 2000 comedy-drama film "Where the Heart Is", which was set in northeastern Oklahoma, featured a fictional depiction of KOKI incorporating live trucks and microphones with flags bearing the station's logo in a scene in which lead character (Natalie Portman) is interviewed by a reporter from the station after giving birth in a Wal-Mart. However at the time of the film's release, the station's only news programming consisted of hourly updates, as its news department would not be formed for another two years.
KOPX-TV
KOPX-TV, virtual channel 62 (UHF digital channel 50), is an Ion Television owned-and-operated television station licensed to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. The station is owned by Ion Media Networks. KOPX-TV's offices are located on Railway Drive in north Oklahoma City, and its transmitter is located near 122nd Street on the city's northeast side. On cable, KOPX is carried on Cox Communications channel 17 in standard definition and digital channel 706 in high definition, and also carried by AT&T U-verse on channel 62 in standard definition.
KMYT-TV
After KOKI launched its own news department in February 2002, channel 41 (as KTFO) began carrying that station's prime time newscast during instances in which a Fox Sports telecasts (mainly for MLB playoff games), or rarely, a special movie presentation scheduled by Fox run past the 9:00 p.m. timeslot. (The deferral of the 9:00 broadcast did not expand to include situations involving overruns caused by prime time college football telecasts, when Fox began carrying regular season games on Saturday nights in September 2011; however, it did expand to include deferrals of the weekend editions of KOKI's 5:00 p.m. newscasts after they were launched in January 2016.) Plans also initially called for KOKI to begin producing an early evening newscast for channel 41, similar to the production that Jacksonville sister station WAWS produced for then-LMA partner WTEV from 1999 until 2001, months before the latter took over as the CBS affiliate for that market. On September 16, 2013, the station began simulcasting the full 5:00 to 9:00 a.m. block of KOKI's weekday morning newscast; the simulcast later expanded to encompass the 4:30 half-hour added on October 6, 2014. The station stopped airing the simulcast in December 2017.
Cinemax
In 1983, Time-Life Inc. filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit against independent station KOKI-TV (now a Fox affiliate) in Tulsa, Oklahoma and its owners Tulsa 23, Ltd. over the use of the slogan "We Are Your Movie Star", which both the television station and Cinemax were using as their slogans at that time; the suit went into proceedings in an Oklahoma Federal District Court, Cinemax lost the case. As additional movie-oriented channels launched on cable television, Cinemax began to change its programming philosophy in order to maintain its subscriber base. First, the channel opted to schedule R-rated movies during daytime slots (HBO would only show R-rated movies during the nighttime hours, after 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, a policy that network largely continues to adhere to ); Cinemax then decided it could compete by airing more adult-oriented movies that contained nudity and depictions of sexual intercourse, launching the weekly "Friday After Dark" late-night block in 1984 (which also featured the short-lived adult drama "Scandals", and a series of anthology specials under the "Eros America" and "Eros International" banners).
KOMO-TV
On May 8, 2017, Sinclair Broadcast Group entered into an agreement to acquire Tribune Media—owner of Fox affiliate KCPQ (channel 13) and MyNetworkTV affiliate KZJO (channel 22)—for $3.9 billion, plus the assumption of $2.7 billion in debt held by Tribune, pending regulatory approval by the FCC and the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. As KOMO and KCPQ rank among the four highest-rated stations in the Seattle−Tacoma market in total day viewership and broadcasters are not currently allowed to legally own more than two full-power television stations in a single market, the companies would have been required to sell either the KOMO/KUNS or the KCPQ/KZJO duopolies to another station group in order to comply with FCC ownership rules preceding approval of the acquisition; however, a sale of either station to an independent buyer was dependent on later decisions by the FCC regarding local ownership of broadcast television stations and future acts by Congress. After speculation that Sinclair would keep KOMO-TV and KUNS-TV and sell KCPQ and KZJO to Fox Television Stations, it announced on April 24, 2018 that it would keep KOMO-TV, buy KZJO and sell KCPQ and KUNS-TV. KUNS-TV was to be sold to Howard Stirk Holdings, with Sinclair continuing to provide services to the station, while KCPQ was to be sold to Fox Television Stations, making KCPQ a Fox owned-and-operated station.
KRDK-TV
KXJB-TV's tower location (along with KVLY) was intended to provide a strong over-the-air signal to both the Fargo–Moorhead and Grand Forks metro areas. All of eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota is considered one giant television market, and the other three network affiliates (WDAY, KFME, and KVRR) which do not have the reach of KVLY or KXJB/KRDK use full-power satellite stations to provide both their signal to the market and advertising specific to Grand Forks.
KOKI-TV
From 1989 to 1991, KOKI held the local broadcast rights to NFL preseason games from the Dallas Cowboys; the station, which assumed the preseason telecast rights to both teams from KGCT as a result of that station's two-year operational cessation, carried six to eight prime time game telecasts annually. The rights to both the Cowboys and Chiefs telecasts were transferred to KGCT beginning with the 1991 preseason. Since September 1994, most Cowboys telecasts carried on KOKI consist of those carried regionally or nationally by Fox, which through the network's contract with the NFL, holds primary broadcast rights to the National Football Conference (NFC). In addition to carrying Fox-televised games involving in-conference opponents, since 2014, Cowboys games carried on the station also include certain cross-flexed games against opponents in the American Football Conference (AFC) that were originally scheduled to air on CBS. (Most Cowboys preseason games not televised by Fox or by other broadcast or cable networks are carried over-the-air locally on CW affiliate KQCW (channel 19) through that station's agreement with the team's syndication service.) In addition, for the 1990 season (the first year that the NFL allowed a live preseason game to air on a team's out-of-market station), the station carried preseason games involving the Kansas City Chiefs, running four prime time game telecasts during that season.
WOPI-CD
WOPI-CD is a class A television station licensed to Bristol, Virginia/Kingsport, Tennessee. The station broadcasts digitally on channel 9 and is an affiliate of Laff.

Prior to the simulcast, WOPI's schedule consisted of infomercials and programming from The Pentagon Channel. In recent years, WOPI-CA has been carried on cable in multiple areas within the Knoxville media market in Kentucky.
Oklahoma City
The major U.S. broadcast television networks have affiliates in the Oklahoma City market (ranked 41st for television by Nielsen and 48th for radio by Arbitron, covering a 34-county area serving the central, north-central and west-central sections of Oklahoma); including NBC affiliate KFOR-TV (channel 4), ABC affiliate KOCO-TV (channel 5), CBS affiliate KWTV-DT (channel 9, the flagship of locally based Griffin Communications), PBS station KETA-TV (channel 13, the flagship of the state-run OETA member network), Fox affiliate KOKH-TV (channel 25), CW affiliate KOCB (channel 34), independent station KAUT-TV (channel 43), MyNetworkTV affiliate KSBI-TV (channel 52), and Ion Television owned-and-operated station KOPX-TV (channel 62). The market is also home to several religious stations including TBN owned-and-operated station KTBO-TV (channel 14) and Norman-based Daystar owned-and-operated station KOCM (channel 46).
KO-AM TV
KO-AM TV, short for Korean-American Television, is a digital cable network based in Seattle, Washington, United States broadcasting programming for the local Korean American community in Western Washington, located at 32008 32nd Ave. S., Federal Way, WA 98001. As an affiliate of KBS World, it broadcasts Korean programming with English subtitles and broadcasts live coverage of Korean news as well as airing a locally produced newscast six days a week.
KOKI-TV
Feature films were heavily emphasized on the station's schedule during this period, with KOKI typically carrying one to two films per night in prime time and one film in the afternoon on weekdays and three or four films per day on weekends. One of the station's film presentations was "Creature Feature", which was hosted by Sherman Oaks (the stage name of local comedian Jim Millaway), featuring Gailard Sartain and Jeanne Tripplehorn (then known as Jeanne Summers, who left after the program's first season), both of whom worked as radio hosts for KMOD-FM (97.5) at the time; showcasing horror and science fiction B movies each Saturday night from October 1982 until October 1985, it featured wraparound segments before and after commercial breaks in which the hosts conducted various skits, often making ridiculous nonsequitir remarks. KOKI would gain a competitor on March 18, 1981, when Green Country Associates and Satellite Syndicated Systems signed on fellow independent KGCT-TV (channel 41, now a MyNetworkTV affiliate) with a mix of syndicated entertainment programs, locally produced news and talk programming in the afternoon and movies from the In-Home Theatre subscription service at night, before transitioning to a general entertainment format within three months of its debut. Despite its low-cost approach, KOKI became a major force in the market; this was evidenced in a 1983 study by New York City-based advertising and marketing firm Ogilvy & Mather examining Tulsa's commercial television stations, which showed that KOKI was the only station to increase viewership shares over the two-year period from May 1981 to May 1983, rising from a 6 to a 19 share in early evenings, from a 5 to a 9 in prime time and from a 4 to a 10 share against late newscasts on the three network affiliates, whereas KJRH, KOTV and KTUL saw steady declines in those same dayparts, which were linked to KOKI's overall growth.
KTAL-TV
KTAL-DT3 is the Cozi TV-affiliated third digital subchannel of KTAL-TV. Over the air, it broadcasts in standard definition on UHF digital channel 15.3 (or virtual channel 6.3 via PSIP). The subchannel is not currently carried on Xfinity in Shreveport, Suddenlink in Bossier City, Cable One in Texarkana, or on other cable providers within the Shreveport–Texarkana market. On February 5, 2018, KTAL launched a digital subchannel on virtual channel 6.3 to serve as an affiliate of the classic television multicast network Cozi TV.
KHME
On February 1, 2016, KOTA-TV changed their call letters to KHME. Northpine reported that this was done as Gray Television awaits FCC approval of its Black Hills TV merger. The KOTA-TV callsign was moved to KEVN, the area Fox affiliate on February 1, 2016, with virtual channel 3 and the ABC affiliation moving there by February 24. The KEVN callsign and virtual channel 7 continues on KEVN-LD, channel 23. KHME retained the MeTV and This TV subchannels from the previous KOTA.
Cable television by region
Currently, there are several national and regional cable television providers in Japan, the largest being , followed by (JCN). These companies currently compete with the Japanese satellite television platforms SKY PerfecTV! and WOWOW, as well as the IPTV platform Hikari TV operated by NTT Plala.
KFOR-TV
The station is also carried on cable providers throughout much of western and southern Oklahoma, extending as far away as Guymon (which is in the Oklahoma Panhandle section of the Amarillo market) and Idabel (part of the Shreveport–Texarkana market). The station is carried on Cable One and other cable systems on the Oklahoma side of the Ada–Sherman market as an alternate NBC affiliate, albeit with NBC programs blacked out due to the presence of Ada-licensed KTEN, in compliance with FCC regulations allowing local network affiliates to prohibit cable providers from carrying duplicative network content from an out-of-market station.
KYOU-TV
KYOU-DT4 (branded as "Ottumwa/Kirksville CW 15.4") is the CW-affiliated fourth digital subchannel of KYOU-TV, broadcasting in widescreen standard definition on virtual and UHF digital channel 15.4. On September 1, 2018, KYOU-DT4 was converted into an over-the-air feed of The CW's national CW Plus service, succeeding cable-only "KWOT" as the CW Plus affiliate for the Ottumwa–Kirksville market; as a result, Escape programming on subchannel 15.4 was discontinued, effectively replaced by The CW Plus.
KICU-TV
With the completion of the deal, KICU became the first independent station to be operated by Fox since September 2006, when it converted KDFI in Dallas–Fort Worth into a charter owned-and-operated station of the co-owned MyNetworkTV programming service. , KICU remains the only Fox Television Stations outlet that is not a MyNetworkTV O&O, due to an existing agreement with KRON-TV (channel 4), which has been affiliated with the service since MyNetworkTV launched.
KOKI-TV
Long-form newscasts began on February 3, 2002, with the launch of "Fox 23 News at 9:00", the first local prime time news program ever attempted in the Tulsa market and the first attempt at a newscast produced independently from KJRH, KOTV and KTUL since channel 41 (as KGCT) shut down its news operation twenty years earlier. The 9:00 p.m. newscast – which has aired as an hour-long program since its premiere broadcast, which itself was delayed due to an hour-long episode of "Malcolm in the Middle" that followed Fox's telecast of Super Bowl XXXVI – was originally anchored by Chera Kimiko (who, prior to joining channel 23, served as weekend morning anchor at KVBC [now KSNV] in Las Vegas from 1999 to 2001) and Darren Dedo (who served as weekday morning anchor at WJTV in Jackson, Mississippi from 2000 to 2001), chief meteorologist Jon Slater (who had worked at KSHB-TV in Kansas City from 1999 to 2001, and had previous stints in Tulsa at KJRH and KTUL) and sports director Vic Faust (who had served in that same position at KMIZ-TV in Columbia, Missouri from 1998 to 2001). (Kimiko would remain at KOKI until January 2013, and was replaced as co-anchor by Shae Rozzi, who was previously a reporter for Atlanta sister station WSB-TV; Dedo was replaced as primary co-anchor of KOKI's evening newscasts in December 2004 by former CBS Newspath Washington D.C. reporter Clay Loney, who remains with the station , after Dedo's contract expired without renewal; Slater remained at KOKI until 2008, and was subsequently replaced by current chief James Aydelott.) The Friday and Saturday editions were initially anchored by Markova Reed (who joined the station from WLBT in Jackson, Mississippi), meteorologist George Flickinger (who was previously chief meteorologist at KTXS-TV in Abilene, Texas) and sports anchor Dave Briggs (previously with fellow Fox affiliate KEVN-TV in Rapid City, South Dakota). (Flickinger was fired without pay by KOKI management in January 2006, for cutting into Fox's November 27, 2005 broadcast of a Seattle Seahawks-New York Giants NFL game to relay an evacuation request from the Mayes County Emergency Management Agency for a major wildfire approaching residences near Chouteau.)
KVLY-TV
The station signed on the air on October 11, 1959, as KXGO-TV (the GO for Fargo), an ABC affiliate. It was originally owned by North Dakota Broadcasting. In 1963, the call letters were changed to KEND-TV. On August 13, 1963, channel 11 moved to its current tower near Blanchard. In 1964, the call letters were changed to as KTHI-TV (for Tower-HI). Fuqua sold the station to Morgan Murphy Media (owner of KXLY-TV in Spokane, Washington) in 1968. On August 22, 1983, KTHI became an NBC affiliate, swapping affiliations with longtime NBC outlet WDAY-TV (channel 6). The current call sign, adopted on May 2, 1995, represents the station's slogan, "The Valley's Choice for Local News," as it serves the communities along the Red River of the North and its tributaries.
KHME
When KRSD-TV, the original channel 7 in Rapid City, signed on in 1958, it took the NBC affiliation, sharing ABC with KOTA-TV. In 1965, channel 3 took on an unusual "joint primary" affiliation with CBS and ABC, slightly favoring CBS. It was certainly quite a struggle to fit as many network shows as possible onto the schedule, especially in the daytime, so KRSD-TV had to take up some of the slack. But channel 7 always had a painfully weak signal which, by 1966, had deteriorated to the point of unacceptability. For this reason, and at NBC's insistence, the two stations switched affiliations on September 13, 1970, making KOTA-TV a joint-primary affiliate of ABC and NBC. A year later, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) would yank KRSD-TV's license due to its inadequate technical quality; that station's owner would fight the decision, but finally gave up and ceased operations on February 29, 1976.
KOMO-TV
KOMO-TV, virtual channel 4 (UHF digital channel 38), is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Seattle, Washington, United States, and also serving Tacoma. The station is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group as part of a duopoly with Bellevue-licensed Univision affiliate KUNS-TV (channel 51). The two stations share studios and offices with sister radio stations KOMO (1000 AM and 97.7 FM), KVI (570 AM), and KPLZ-FM (101.5 MHz) within KOMO Plaza (formerly Fisher Plaza) in the Lower Queen Anne section of Seattle, directly across the street from the Space Needle. KOMO-TV's transmitter is located on Queen Anne Hill.
KOKH-TV
On cable, KOKH is available on Cox Communications channel 12 (standard definition) and digital channel 712 (high definition) and AT&T U-verse channels 25 (standard definition) and 1025 (high definition) in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, and on either channel 12 or channel 13 on most cable systems elsewhere within the Oklahoma City DMA. On satellite, the station is available on channel 25 on DirecTV and Dish Network.
KRDK-TV
KRDK-TV, virtual channel 4 (UHF digital channel 38), is a television station serving Fargo and Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States, which is affiliated with multiple networks on various digital subchannels. Licensed to Valley City, its transmitter is located near Galesburg, and its studios are in Fargo. The station launched in December 1954 as KXJB-TV, the CBS affiliate for the market.
KDMK-LD
K18JF-D channel 20 is a low power station in Lafayette, Louisiana (translator tower south of Crowley, Louisiana that is currently silent. The station is owned by HC2 Holdings of Herndon, Virginia. The station is scheduled to launch in 2018 with the following 8 networks: 20.1 Cozi TV, 20.2 Buzzr, 20.3 Escape, 20.4 Bounce TV, 20.5 Comet TV, 20.6 Charge! 20.7 Decades, 20.8 Movies!. As of October 8, 2018 all stations for the new repack have been granted. Launch date is unknown. Due to the fact that local ABC affiliate KATC-TV will be under the E. W. Scripps company soon, Cozi or Escape may not launch under this station.
KCOP-TV
KCOP-TV, virtual and VHF digital channel 13, is a MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated television station located in Los Angeles, United States. The station is owned by the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of Fox Corporation, as part of a duopoly with Fox owned-and-operated station KTTV (channel 11). The two stations share studio facilities at the Fox Television Center in West Los Angeles; KCOP's transmitter is located atop Mount Wilson.
KFDX-TV
KFDX-DT4 is the Cozi TV-affiliated fourth digital subchannel of KFDX-TV, broadcasting in standard definition on UHF digital channel 28.4 (or virtual channel 3.4 via PSIP). The subchannel is not currently carried on Charter Spectrum in Wichita Falls, Fidelity Communications in Lawton or other area cable providers. On January 23, 2018, KFDX launched a digital subchannel on virtual channel 3.4 to serve as an affiliate of the classic television multicast network Cozi TV.
KRCR-TV
The station was founded in 1956 as KVIP-TV by William B. Smullin of California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc. (COBI), owners of KOBI in Medford, Oregon and satellite station KOTI in Klamath Falls as a primary NBC affiliate with a secondary ABC affiliation. By 1963, network emphasis had shifted towards ABC, as only the Saturday morning and Sunday night primetime schedules, a few daytime game shows and "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" were carried in NBC's schedule pattern. The full ABC schedule was available by way of translators of Stockton's KOVR in Chico and Redding. Channel 7 became KRCR in 1963.
KOKI-TV
Channel 23 has carried local news programming in various formats since its launch in October 1980. From its sign-on until December 2001, news programming on KOKI consisted mainly of 90-second newsbriefs (originally titled "Newscheck 23", renamed in 1990 as "Fox 23 Newsbreak") – consisting of Associated Press wire reports and a short weather forecast read by the anchor on-call – that aired during select commercial breaks within daytime and evening programs. As Fox was urging many of its stations to begin producing their own newscasts around this time, in a May 1994 "Tulsa World" interview, then-general manager Hal Capron responded when asked whether KOKI might develop a news department that the enormous cost was an issue but it would format the newscast as a cutting-edge broadcast to differentiate itself from competitors KJRH, KOTV and KTUL if it went forward with such plans. In December 1995, Capron announced plans to establish a news department for KOKI (even though the space that it occupied at the Fox Plaza building was not quite large enough to house a full news department); Capron estimated that a half-hour prime time newscast at 9:00 p.m. would premiere by August 1997; in January 1997, Capron would later reveal that the newscast's launch would be delayed to an undetermined later date. Instead, on January 26, 1997 (immediately following Fox's telecast of Super Bowl XXXI), KOKI premiered "First Weather on Fox 23", a nightly weather program consisting of a five-minute-long lead forecast segment at 10:00, and two weeknight-only 60-second updates at 10:35 and 11:05 p.m., all of which served as lead-ins to the station's late access syndicated and network program offerings. The news updates and "First Weather" were discontinued in December 2001.
KOKI-TV
KOKI and KMYT share studio facilities located on East 27th Street and South Memorial Drive (near W. G. Skelly Park) in the Audubon neighborhood of southeast Tulsa; the two stations also share transmitter facilities located on South 273rd East Avenue (between 91st Street South and the Muskogee Turnpike) in Broken Arrow. On cable, KOKI is available on Cox Communications channel 5 in standard definition and digital channel 1005 in high definition.
Legacy Broadcasting
On October 1, 2015, Gray Television announced the sale of Schurz Communications-owned KOTA-TV, the oldest television station in South Dakota, for $1. Gray will transfer the station's ABC affiliation to KEVN-TV but KOTA will remain affiliated with This TV and MeTV at the close of the sale. KOTA satellite KHSD-TV is also included in the sale to Legacy.
KYOU-TV
KYOU-TV, virtual and UHF channel 15, is a Fox/NBC/CW+-affiliated television station licensed to Ottumwa, Iowa, United States, serving the Honey Lands area of Southeastern Iowa and Northeastern Missouri. Owned by Gray Television, KYOU-TV's studios are located on West 2nd Street in Downtown Ottumwa, and its transmitter is located east of Richland, Iowa. The station operates a low-power digital translator in Kirksville, Missouri, K30MG-D (channel 30), to extend its over-the-air coverage into the Missouri side of the Ottumwa–Kirksville market; it has a transmitter northwest of that city.
KAEF-TV
In June 1988, Mad River put KREQ up for sale; in 1989, it sold the station to California Oregon Broadcasting (COBI), owner of KRCR-TV. COBI already owned two radio stations in Eureka, KFLI (790 AM, now KEJY) and KEKA-FM (101.5), which were sold off as a condition of the purchase of channel 23. Mad River took KREQ off the air, citing financial problems, on April 30, 1989; that October, COBI returned channel 23 to the air as KAEF (Arcata Eureka Fortuna), an ABC affiliate and semi-satellite of KRCR-TV. Prior to 1989, ABC programming was limited to off-hours clearances on KIEM and KVIQ; through KRCR, KAEF still offered some Fox programming in off-hours until KBVU signed on in 1994.
Media in Oklahoma City
The six network-affiliated television stations in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area do not operate any full-power satellite stations, despite the western portions of the market being underserved by any network affiliates' signal (though NBC affiliate KFOR-TV does have low-power translators serving northwestern parts of the state, and Univision affiliate KUOK is based out of Woodward with two low-power translators, one analog and one digital, serving the immediate Oklahoma City area). Therefore, cable or satellite television is required to receive Oklahoma City television stations; in order to receive KFOR-TV, KOCO-TV, KWTV-DT, KOKH-TV, KOCB or KAUT-TV in those areas, cable television is required.
KOKI-TV
KOKI-TV signed on the air on October 26, 1980, a date chosen by Lavenstein at the suggestion of marketing and promotions manager Richard Enderwood, as it coincided with Enderwood's birthday. It was the first commercial television station to sign on in the Tulsa market since NBC affiliate KVOO-TV (channel 2, now KJRH-TV) signed on 26 years earlier on December 5, 1954, and the first independent station to begin operation in a market that, on paper, had a large enough population to provide suitable viewership for an independent station since the early 1970s. The station (which was then branded as "Tulsa 23," accompanied by a futuristic logo in which the numerical 23 was construed as the "LS" in Tulsa) originally operated from studio facilities located on East 46th Place (between Memorial Drive and Sheridan Road) in southeast Tulsa, which was fitted with used transmission equipment previously owned by other television stations within the U.S. The station operated on a lean budget, maintaining a general entertainment programming format that featured a mix of classic sitcoms, westerns and drama series, cartoons, and a limited amount of sports and religious programs. The Tulsa 23 partnership purchased programming at low cost, and tailored its schedule to appeal to older and rural demographics, leaving much of the higher-rated and more recent syndicated content to be acquired by its network-affiliated competitors, KJRH, CBS affiliate KOTV (channel 6) and ABC affiliate KTUL (channel 8). KOKI was opportunistic on occasion and picked up broadcast rights to college and major league sporting events.
KUOK
KUOK and KUOK-CD are owned by the Oklahoma City-based Tyler Media Group, and are sister stations to Shawnee-licensed Telemundo affiliate KTUZ-TV (channel 30) and Estrella TV affiliate KOCY-LP (channel 48). All four outlets share studios near Southeast 51st Street and Shields Boulevard in south Oklahoma City.
KOKI-TV
KOKI-TV began transmitting a digital television signal on UHF channel 22 on October 1, 2002. The station shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 23, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 22. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 23. Newport Television's decision to delay KOKI's switch to digital-only transmissions by five months, while electing to turn off the KMYT analog signal on the original transition date of February 17, 2009, was done in order to enable viewers who were not prepared for the transition to continue receiving news and emergency weather information through the spring 2009 severe weather season.
KRCR-TV
Under COBI ownership, KRCR used a logo consisting of an Interstate shield sign like its sister stations, placing "7R" where the number would be. 7R was adapted as a branding for the station at that time, as the Northern California "TV Guide" edition identified it with a "7R" 'channel bullet' to differentiate it from KGO-TV/San Francisco and its similar network schedule.
KOCB
On cable, KOCB is available on Cox Communications channel 11 (standard definition) and digital channel 711 (high definition) and AT&T U-verse channels 34 (standard definition) and 1034 (high definition) in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, and on channel 11 on most cable systems elsewhere within the Oklahoma City DMA.
KOBI
KOBI also operates a satellite station in Klamath Falls, KOTI (channel 2), as well as a large network of translators. Together, the two stations serve 12 mostly rural counties in southern Oregon and northern California.
KBOI-TV
KBOI-TV is a CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Boise, Idaho, United States. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 9 (or virtual channel 2 via PSIP) from a transmitter at the Bogus Basin ski area summit in unincorporated Boise County. The station can also be seen on Cable One channel 8 and in high definition on digital channel 460. Owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, KBOI-TV is sister to low-powered CW+ affiliate KYUU-LD (channel 35) and the two stations share studios on North 16th Street in downtown Boise.
KOKI-TV
After trying for several years to offload KOKI-TV, the Tulsa 23 partnership secured a willing buyer on March 6, 1989, when it sold the station to San Antonio, Texas-based Clear Channel Television for $6.075 million. Citing that KOKI had not generated a profit for some time as a result of an economic downturn spurred by an oil exploration slump in the region during the 1980s, division parent Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia)—which had owned KAKC (1300 AM) and KMOD-FM (97.5) since the company, as San Antonio Broadcasting Corp., acquired the two radio stations from Unicorn Inc. in 1973—applied for a "failing station" waiver of FCC ownership rules that then prohibited common ownership of television and radio stations in the same market on the basis that the combined ownership would provide KOKI with needed financial support to remain operational and expand its public affairs programming. The sale and cross-ownership waiver received FCC approval on November 17, 1989; the transaction was finalized in late February 1990. (KOKI would gain additional radio sisters when Clear Channel purchased KQLL-AM-FM [1430, now KTBZ, and 106.1, now KTGX] and KOAS [92.1 FM, now KTBT] from Federated Media for $15.4 million in April 1996; as the Telecommunications Act eliminated the radio-television cross-ownership restrictions, the company acquired the two stations without amending the earlier waiver.)
KOTA-TV
Heritage Media announced in September 1995 that it would sell KEVN-TV and KIVV-TV to Blackstar, LLC, a minority-controlled company in which nonvoting equity interests were held by Fox Television Stations and Silver King Communications, for $14 million; the deal was completed on February 7, 1996. Blackstar immediately announced that KEVN would drop NBC and join Fox. the affiliation change happened in July 1996. Prior to then, Fox programming was seen in the market primarily via cable carriage of either Denver affiliate KDVR or the national Foxnet service, while KOTA-TV had a secondary affiliation with Fox since 1994 to carry the network's coverage of the National Football League. The move left the Black Hills without an over-the-air NBC affiliate, and the region did not get another over-the-air NBC affiliate until Rapid signed on KNBN-LP (now KWBH-LP, channel 27) two years later in 1998, but did not upgrade to the full-power KNBN (channel 21) until May 2000. In the interim, cable systems in the market piped in NBC's Denver affiliate, KUSA-TV.
KOBI
In 1962, Smullin changed the call letters to KTVM. When channel 10 was allocated to Medford, Smullin helped the owners of KMED-AM get the license, as well as space on his transmitter on Blackwell Hill. Partly because of his help, KMED-TV (channel 10, now KTVL) signed on in 1961. In 1968, KTVM moved to a powerful transmitter on King Mountain and changed its calls to the current KOBI.
KUOK-CA
KUOK-CA, VHF analog channel 11, was a low-power television station located in Norman, Oklahoma, United States. The station, at the time of its shutdown in 2008, was owned by Equity Broadcasting.
KOTI
Today, the station is owned by president Patricia C. "Patsy" Smullin, who also owns the parent company COBi, which is the longest, continuously independent broadcast group in the West and one of the three oldest in the country. KOTI served as the only staffed television station in the Klamath Basin for many years. The station's vice president and general manager is Robert Wise, formerly general manager of former sister station KRCR-TV in Redding, California. Viewers in 12 counties in Oregon and California receive programming from NBC 2.
KDKA-TV
KDKA-TV is available on cable in the Johnstown, Altoona, Wheeling, and Youngstown areas, as well as several other out-of-market cable systems in northwestern Pennsylvania, northwestern Maryland, northeastern Ohio, and north-central West Virginia. The furthest south KDKA-TV is carried on cable is in Beverly, West Virginia.
KHME
Channel 3 lost CBS in 1981, after the FCC authorized K15AC (channel 15), a translator of KPLO-TV from Reliance (itself a satellite of KELO-TV, the CBS affiliate in Sioux Falls), over the objections of KOTA-TV (K15AC was supplanted in 1988 by KCLO-TV, a semi-satellite of KELO). KOTA-TV continued to carry NBC programming until 1984, when the network chose to part ways with the station. ABC then moved its programming to channel 3 from KEVN-TV, which took the NBC affiliation; this made KOTA-TV one of the few stations to be a primary affiliate of each of the Big Three television networks. KOTA added a secondary affiliation with Fox in 1994, primarily to carry the network's coverage of the National Football League; this ended in 1996, when KEVN switched from NBC to Fox as part of the U.S. television network affiliate switches of 1994.
KOTA-TV
Until 2016, the KOTA-TV call sign, along with the virtual channel 3 assignment and the ABC affiliation, were associated with the station now known as KHME (channel 23). KOTA-TV had gone on the air in 1955 as a CBS affiliate owned by Helen Duhamel along with KOTA radio (1380 AM). The station also had secondary affiliations with NBC (until 1958) and ABC; it took on a joint-primary affiliation with both CBS and ABC in 1965, dropped CBS for NBC in 1970, lost ABC in 1976, and carried a secondary CBS affiliation from 1976 until 1981. KOTA became an ABC affiliate in 1984, and also carried some Fox programming from 1994 to 1996. The KHSD-TV call letters and virtual channel 11 were previously associated with the station now known as KQME (channel 5), which had been a KOTA-TV satellite since 1966.
KOCO-TV
In March 1964, channel 5 moved its transmitter facilities to a tower on East Britton Road in northeast Oklahoma City, at an antenna farm housing the transmission towers of other local television and radio stations; the tower was dedicated with two days of ceremonies that included such notable guests as ABC news anchor Howard K. Smith and the husband-and-wife comedy team of Phil Ford and Mimi Hines. KOCO's formal transfer to Oklahoma City made it the third station in the state's capital city to have been affiliated with ABC: WKY-TV served as a secondary affiliate from 1949 to 1956, while fledgling UHF outlet KTVQ maintained a full-time affiliation from its sign-on in 1953 until that station ceased operations in 1956.
KAUT-TV
Golden West and KAUT launched the service during a period when multichannel pay television franchises offering cable-originated premium services such as HBO, Showtime and (the now-defunct) Spotlight were expanding throughout central Oklahoma. Cox Cable (which began service to areas west of Western Avenue in April 1980) and its buildout venture Pan Oklahoma Communications (an African American-owned firm in which Cox held majority ownership and would eventually acquire outright in December 1983, which also began providing cable service to the city's northeast side and nearby Forest Park in April 1980), and wireless cable provider TVQ (which launched in October 1978 as an over-the-air distributor of programming from HBO and Superstation WTBS) had already begun operation in Oklahoma City proper; outer suburbs of the city were then being serviced by Multimedia Cablevision (which served cities such as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Moore and Yukon) and American Cablevision (which served the suburb of Midwest City until Multimedia assumed ownership of that system in May 1984).
WHKY-TV
On cable, the station is available on Charter Spectrum channel 7 in the Hickory area and channel 18 in the Charlotte area (CW affiliate WCCB, which broadcasts over the air on virtual channel 18, is carried by Spectrum on cable channel 5 in Hickory and channel 11 in Charlotte). It is not presently carried by AT&T U-verse in the Charlotte market. Google Fiber carried the station until July 1, 2017. WHKY is also available on cable in Mountain City, Tennessee, which is part of the Tri-Cities television market.
KHON-TV
KHON-TV, virtual channel 2 (VHF digital channel 8), is a primary Fox/subchannel-only CW-affiliated television station licensed to Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. The station is owned by the Nexstar Media Group, as part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV affiliate KHII-TV (channel 9). The two stations share studios at the Haiwaiki Tower on Piikoi and Waimanu Streets in downtown Honolulu (between the Kaka'ako and Ala Moana districts); KHON's main transmitter is also located downtown at the Century Center condominium/business complex (near Kalakaua Avenue and Kapiolani Boulevard, just northwest of the Hawaii Convention Center).
KOKI-TV
Partly because of its status as the strongest of the market's two independent stations, in the summer of 1986, News Corporation approached and, later, reached an agreement with Tulsa 23 Ltd. for KOKI-TV to become the Tulsa charter outlet of the Fox Broadcasting Company in advance of the network's launch. Channel 23 formally affiliated with Fox when the fledgling network commenced programming on October 9, 1986. Though it was technically a network affiliate, as was the case with other Fox stations during the network's early years of operation, KOKI continued to be programmed as a "de facto" independent station as Fox's only initial offering was late-night talk show "The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers". Until Fox completed the expansion of its prime time schedule to a seven-night-a-week lineup (a seven-year transition that began with the launch of a three-hour Sunday night lineup in April 1987 and was completed with the rollout of the network's Monday lineup in June 1993), KOKI continued to air a movie at 7:00 p.m. on nights when the network did not offer any programming. In 1988, the station moved its operations into a low-rise office building on East 54th Street and South Yale Avenue (near LaFortune Park) in southeast Tulsa, which was named Fox Plaza.
WBKI-TV (1983–2017)
Due to its transmitter location being roughly halfway between Louisville and Lexington, WBKI-TV claimed the largest coverage area of any television station in Kentucky. The station provided at least secondary coverage (Grade B signal or better) from the Tennessee border to Southern Indiana. Besides its home market of Louisville, it also served large slices of the Lexington and Bowling Green markets. Consequently, WBKI-TV maintained solid coverage on most cable systems in these areas for most of its tenure with The WB. For all intents and purposes, it was Lexington's default WB affiliate, and even operated a "virtual channel" on primary cable systems in that area with separate identifications. With the launch of The CW, WBKI-TV was dropped from most cable providers in the Bowling Green and Lexington areas since that network respectively launched onto subchannels of ABC affiliate WBKO and CBS affiliate WKYT-TV. In spite of the existence of WKYT-DT2, WBKI-TV could still be seen over-the-air in much of the Lexington area and on about 20 other cable systems in Central Kentucky. The station was also available on cable in portions of the Nashville market, including parts of far southern Kentucky (e.g. Cumberland, Clinton, and Monroe counties) as well as three counties (Clay, Macon, and Pickett) in Tennessee.
KFOR-TV
In 1953, OPUBCO – whose founder had long been an advocate for Oklahoma's educational system – donated $150,000 worth of existing WKY-TV broadcasting equipment to the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA) for its proposed station on channel 13 (flagship station KETA-TV, which would sign-on in April 1956). Because of the licensing freeze instituted by the FCC in September 1948, WKY-TV was the only television station in the Oklahoma City market until 1953; its initial two UHF-based competitors – KTVQ (channel 25, allocation now occupied by Fox affiliate KOKH-TV) and KLPR-TV (channel 19, allocation now occupied by Cornerstone Television affiliate KUOT-CD) – made their respective debuts on October 28 and November 8 of that year. Though KTVQ and KLPR respectively signed on as basic affiliates of ABC and DuMont, channel 4 continued to carry selected programs from the two networks, with ABC programming being retained through a secondary basic affiliation; in contrast, WKY disaffiliated from CBS one month prior to KWTV (channel 9) signing on as an affiliate of that network on December 20. WKY-TV remained a primary NBC and secondary DuMont affiliate until the latter network discontinued operations in August 1956. In 1958, Enid-based ABC affiliate KGEO-TV (channel 5) changed call letters to KOCO-TV, refocusing its coverage area to include Oklahoma City and assuming the local ABC programming rights; this left WKY-TV exclusively affiliated with NBC.
KOKI-TV
KOKI-TV currently carries the majority of the Fox network schedule (prime time, Saturday late night and sports programming, and the political talk show "Fox News Sunday"), with program preemptions only occurring due to extended breaking news and severe weather coverage; however, it does not carry the network's Saturday morning infomercial block "Weekend Marketplace". In addition to airing programming supplied by the network directly, the station carries "Xploration Station", a live-action educational program block distributed by Steve Rotfeld Productions that is syndicated primarily to Fox stations, on Saturdays after "Fox 23 News This Morning"; however, because of the station's commitments to air Fox Sports programming, some programs within the block are subject to being deferred to weekend daytime slots normally occupied by feature films or paid programming when Fox has no scheduled sporting events, in order to fulfill FCC educational content quotas defined by the Children's Television Act. Syndicated programs broadcast by KOKI-TV include "The Doctors", "Family Feud", "The Wendy Williams Show", "Modern Family", and "Judge Judy".
KOKI-TV
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
KOKI-DT2 is the MeTV-affiliated second digital subchannel of KOKI-TV, broadcasting in standard definition on UHF digital channel 22.2 (or virtual channel 23.2 via PSIP). On cable, KOKI-DT2 is available on Cox Communications channel 68. KOKI-TV launched a digital subchannel on virtual channel 23.2 in April 2011, originally serving as an affiliate of music video-focused network TheCoolTV through a groupwide agreement between network parent Cool Music Network, LLC and Newport Television, involving Newport-operated stations in ten markets. On July 30, 2012, through an affiliation agreement reached between Newport Television and network owner Weigel Broadcasting, KOKI-DT2 became an affiliate of the classic television network MeTV.
KRDK-TV
As of October 2016, KRDK's main Cozi TV channel is carried on channel 4 on most cable television systems in the market. There is a high definition feed offered on Midco digital channel 4 and Cable One digital channel 1004. The station is also available on DirecTV channel 44 and Dish Network channel 5.
KNOX-TV
KNOX broadcast on channel 10 as an ABC affiliate. The station later signed on Winnipeg-targeted border blaster KCND-TV, which was a semi-satellite of KNOX, on November 7, 1960. While KNOX was a primary ABC affiliate, the station also carried programming from NBC.
In 1962, KNOX and KCND, along with KEND-TV (now KVLY-TV) in Fargo, North Dakota, were purchased for $675,200 by the Pembina Broadcasting Company, a group led by Ferris Traylor, the part-owner of an Indiana TV station. KNOX merged with KEND, and KNOX shut down in 1964 after KEND (known as KTHI-TV at this time) began transmitting from a tower in Blanchard, between Fargo and Grand Forks. After KNOX-TV's shutdown, the Grand Forks area did not have a local television station until NBC affiliate WDAZ-TV signed on in 1967.

KOMO-TV
KOMO-TV is available to most cable subscribers in the Vancouver/Victoria, British Columbia area as the ABC affiliate and is one of five Seattle television stations seen in Canada on the Bell TV and Shaw Direct satellite services.
Cowles Company
Cowles' television operations are centered around the two NBC affiliates in eastern Washington. The flagship is KHQ-TV in Spokane, which was founded by Cowles as Washington's second television station. Cowles also owns KNDO in Yakima and its Tri-Cities semi-satellite KNDU (licensed to Richland). As of September 2007, Cowles planned to acquire two CBS affiliate television stations for US$41 million from Newport Television, one of the holding companies formed by Providence Equity Partners when Providence planned to acquire the television stations owned by Clear Channel Communications. They are KCOY-TV in Santa Barbara-Santa Maria-San Luis Obispo, California and KION-TV in Monterey, California. KION carries The CW on a separate digital channel. Cowles would also have a management agreement with KCBA, the Fox affiliate serving Salinas, Monterey and Santa Cruz, California, and would acquire two low power stations, KKFX-CA, also Fox in San Luis Obispo, California and the Telemundo affiliate KMUV-LP in Monterey. The deal closed on May 7, 2008.
KOCO-TV
KOCO-TV began transmitting a digital television signal on VHF channel 7 on November 1, 2002. The station discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over VHF channel 5, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transitioned from analog to digital television. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition VHF channel 7, using PSIP to display KOCO-TV's virtual channel as 5 (corresponding to its analog channel) on digital television receivers. After the switchover, the marginal reductions to the broadcast radius of KOCO's digital signal created some reception gaps in parts of southern and north-central Oklahoma that previously, at best, received Grade B coverage from its analog signal. In May 2010, the station installed a new digital transmitter antenna and dish on the Britton Road tower to help extend KOCO's signal reception to the affected areas.
KCOY-TV
KCOY-TV is a CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Santa Maria, California, United States and serving the Central Coast of California. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 19 (or virtual channel 12 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Tepusquet Peak in the Los Padres National Forest east of Santa Maria. Owned by VistaWest Media, LLC, KCOY is operated by News-Press & Gazette Company through a shared services agreement. This makes it a sister station to Santa Barbara-licensed ABC affiliate KEYT-TV (channel 3) and Class A Fox affiliate KKFX-CD (channel 24, which is licensed as a translator of KCOY). KCOY and KKFX share studios on West McCoy Lane in Santa Maria; KEYT maintains separate facilities at 730 Miramonte Drive on TV Hill, overlooking downtown Santa Barbara. KCOY's signal can also be seen on translators K44DN (channel 44) in Paso Robles) and on KSBB-CD (channel 17) in Santa Barbara.
KSBI
In 2003, KSBI launched a digital subchannel on virtual channel 52.2, which served as an affiliate of HDNet, one of the few broadcast television stations in the United States to carry the cable and satellite network. In 2004, after Family Broadcasting Group assumed ownership, the subchannel was converted into a simulcast feed of its low-power sister at the time, KXOC-LP (then affiliated with America One). On February 28, 2011, Luken Communications announced that it had reached an affiliation agreement with Family Broadcasting Group to carry Tuff TV on KXOC-LP/KSBI-DT2, which switched to the network on March 7, 2011. During the first few months of the contract, KSBI also carried select Tuff TV programs on its primary 52.1 signal to fill portions of its Saturday afternoon schedule.
On September 17, 2012, KSBI-DT2 discontinued the KXOC simulcast and became an affiliate of This TV. The network was in the process of being displaced from its original Oklahoma City affiliate, KOCO-TV, after its owner, Hearst Television, reached a long-term deal to carry This TV's then-sister network, MeTV (which is owned by former This TV co-founder Weigel Broadcasting). Because the station's contract with MeTV did not take effect until October 1, 2012, KOCO-DT2 continued to carry This TV – resulting in the two stations temporarily sharing the affiliation – for two weeks from September 17 to September 30. As a This affiliate, KSBI-DT2 preempted some classic television series or movies that aired during the network's morning schedule (on weekdays from 4:00 to 6:30 (or 7:00) a.m. and weekends from 5:00 to 7:00 a.m., or as late as 8:00 a.m. on either day), in favor of carrying religious, lifestyle and comedy programs to which KSBI held the local syndication rights and infomercials (KSBI-DT2 also preempted This TV programs airing weekdays from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. from May to September 2013).
KUSI-TV
KUSI-TV, virtual channel 51 (UHF digital channel 18), is an independent television station licensed to San Diego, California, United States. The station is owned by McKinnon Broadcasting. KUSI's studios are located on Viewridge Avenue (near I-15) in the Kearny Mesa section of San Diego, and its transmitter is located southeast of Spring Valley. Its signal is relayed on low-powered K12PO in Murrieta. On cable, KUSI is available on Cox Communications and AT&T U-verse channel 9.
KXMC-TV
KXMC-TV is a CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Minot, North Dakota, United States. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on virtual and VHF channel 13 from a transmitter southwest of Minot. The station can also be seen on Midcontinent Communications cable channel 3 in the Minot area, cable channel 13 in most other areas and SRT cable channel 3. There is a high definition feed provided on Midco digital channel 603 and SRT digital channel 503.
KOKI-TV
The UHF channel 23 allocation—which had been dormant since a short-lived attempt to revive its original occupant, KCEB, by original licensee Elfred Beck foundered in September 1967—was contested between two groups that vied to hold the construction permit to build a new station on the frequency. The first prospective permittee was Wilson Communications, owned by Detroit businessman and Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson, which filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on July 7, 1978. The second applicant, Tulsa 23, Ltd. (originally Channel 23 Tulsa, Ltd.), filed on September 5; that group – led by managing partner Benjamin F. Boddie and original KOKI-TV general manager James Lavenstein—primarily consisted of prominent local corporate executives and community leaders that included Helmerich & Payne CEO Walter H. Helmerich II, and former Williams Companies CEOs John H. and Charles P. Williams (the latter two of whom were also responsible for the redevelopment of over nine square blocks and of new office and retail construction in downtown Tulsa, including the establishment of the Williams Center, the Bank of Oklahoma Tower and the Tulsa Performing Arts Center). The FCC granted the license to the Tulsa 23 venture on December 12, 1979.
KVOS-TV
KVOS-TV is a commercial television station licensed to Bellingham, Washington, United States. Owned by Weigel Broadcasting, it serves as an affiliate of Heroes & Icons, Movies!, MeTV, Decades and Start TV on its five digital subchannels. The station's over-the-air transmissions are on UHF digital channel 35, though it remaps to its former analog channel 12 through PSIP. While the station is nominally part of the Seattle–Tacoma market, it primarily serves an audience in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, including Vancouver and Victoria.
KCOP-TV
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
On November 4, 2011, Fox Television Stations signed an affiliation agreement with Bounce TV for KCOP and its New York City-area sister station WWOR-TV. KCOP began carrying Bounce TV on digital subchannel 13.2 on March 8, 2012 (WWOR added the network on its 9.3 subchannel two weeks earlier on February 24). The network has also been added to the subchannels of Fox-owned MyNetworkTV stations in five other markets: Baltimore, Phoenix, Orlando, Dallas and Minneapolis; the Baltimore affiliation had since moved to a subchannel of ABC affiliate WMAR-TV, soon after Fox sold-off MyNetworkTV outlet WUTB to Deerfield Media. In three other markets where Fox owns MyNetworkTV stations (Chicago, Houston and Washington, D.C.), Bounce TV is carried on the subchannel space of other competing stations in those markets.
