Profile CDBS |
KOCY-LP, UHF digital channel 48, is an Estrella TV-affiliated television station located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. The station is owned by the locally based Tyler Media Group, and is a sister station to Univision affiliate KUOK (channel 36) and Telemundo affiliate KTUZ-TV (channel 30). All three stations share studios located near Southeast 51st Street and Shields Boulevard in southern Oklahoma City, and its transmitter near Kelley Avenue (between 70th and 78th Streets) in northeast Oklahoma City. It is not carried locally on Cox Communications or AT&T U-verse at the present time.
The station first signed on the air in 1989 as K69EK, broadcasting on UHF channel 69 as an Independent station. In 1995, the station joined The WB upon the network's launch until 1996. From the mid-1990s until 2000, the station carried programming from LeSea Broadcasting-owned general entertainment/religious network World Harvest Television; for the next two years afterward, it ran religious programming from The Shepherd's Chapel Network. It then switched to a music video format as an affiliate of MTV2 from 2002 to 2004.
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).
