Television and Radio Company charged that KGEO wanted to "straddle" its transmitter between Enid
83_85
and Oklahoma City to serve both cities, as between 75% and 85% of television set owners in the Enid
83_86
area owners had oriented their home antennas to receive signals from Oklahoma City and the new
83_87
tower would provide improved reception in Enid by allowing the signal to propagate into the area at
83_88
the same direction that these home antennas were aimed, a claim Streets denied. Republic management
83_89
expressed concern that KGEO's move to the Crescent site would create unfair competition that could
83_90
hamper the station's already untenable financial situation.
83_91
Petitions by Republic Television and Radio to set aside the recommendation to grant of the
83_92
transmitter application and to reopen the record and call attention to the issues the move would
83_93
cause was denied by the FCC on December 15, 1955. (The agency later granted the Streets transmitter
83_94
relocation request in a 6–1 vote on May 4, 1956.) That same day, KTVQ suspended operations under
83_95
court order from the Western Oklahoma District Court "until a VHF channel [assignment was] made
83_96
available to it"; the FCC—was considering a proposal to allocate a minimum of three commercial VHF
83_97
channels in all major markets—did not act on KTVQ's request, resulting in the station being forced
83_98
to cease transmissions. Station representatives asked the FCC for special temporary authorization
83_99
to operate on VHF channel 11—which had been assigned to Tulsa as a non-commercial educational
83_100
allocation—until the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA) could sign on KOED-TV, a
83_101
satellite of its Oklahoma City flagship KETA-TV (channel 13), intending to broadcast over the
83_102
transmitter facility of the then-recently defunct KMPT. Governor Raymond D. Gary was among those
83_103
who supported the proposal; in contrast, OETA and the Joint Committee on Educational Television
83_104
filed objections to the request, contending that the proposal was "tantamount to scrapping the
83_105
whole table of educational television assignments". Sales and acting manager Troy Hoskins stated
83_106
the station's shutdown had resulted in about 80% of ABC's programming lineup being unavailable to
83_107
Oklahoma City viewers.
83_108
The FCC refused the STA request on February 1, 1956; KTVQ management re-submitted the STA request
83_109
for channel 11 on May 11, with the intent to operate the station on that channel either through the
83_110
remainder of the term of the construction permit or until OETA—which had withdrawn its opposition
83_111
to temporary use of the Tulsa channel—was ready to sign on KOED-TV. The station's fate was
83_112
ultimately sealed when the request was rejected for the second time on July 5, 1956. ABC
83_113
programming subsequently returned to WKY-TV as a secondary affiliation (KGEO-TV displaced WKY as
83_114
the network's Oklahoma City affiliate when it moved its operations and changed its city of license
83_115
from Enid to Oklahoma City in 1958).

Current history of UHF channel 25 in Oklahoma City
83_117
On July 25, 1958, the Republic Television and Radio Company donated the construction permit and
83_118
license to Independent School District No. 89 of Oklahoma County (now Oklahoma City Public
83_119
Schools), while the company was in the midst of protracted hearings regarding KTVQ's bankruptcy.
83_120
Although the FCC reserved the UHF channel 25 allocation in Oklahoma City for commercial
83_121
broadcasting purposes, the school district proposed upon acquiring the permit to operate it as a
83_122
non-commercial educational independent station. The district requested for KOKH-TV—the base of
83_123
which assigned at the time to its public radio station on 88.9 FM (now KYLV)—to be assigned as the
83_124
television station's call letters. KOKH signed on the air on February 2, 1959, with programming
83_125
originally consisting of instructional and lecture-based telecourse programs developed in
83_126
cooperation with the Oklahoma State Department of Education for college credit attribution.
83_127
The school district—citing that operating expenditures outran any benefits and its inability to
83_128
raise $350,000 in matching funds to replace its existing transmission tower—sold the station for
83_129
$3.5 million to Blair Broadcasting (a subsidiary of New York City-based John Blair & Co.) on
83_130
December 14, 1978; Blair later converted KOKH into a general entertainment independent station on
83_131
October 1, 1979, initially carrying a mix of feature films, cartoons, classic sitcoms, religious
83_132
programs, some sports programming, and certain network programs preempted by NBC affiliate KTVY
83_133
(channel 4, now KFOR-TV), ABC affiliate KOCO-TV (channel 5) and CBS affiliate KWTV (channel 9) to
83_134
carry local or syndicated programming. KOKH became a Fox affiliate on August 15, 1991, as a result
83_135
of the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA)'s purchase of the network's Oklahoma City
83_136
charter affiliate, KAUT (channel 43, now an independent station), which became a PBS member station
83_137
as a companion to OETA flagship station KETA-TV (channel 13). (, KOKH-TV is currently owned by the
83_138
Sinclair Broadcast Group.)
