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, as part of a duopoly with Univision affiliate KUOK (channel 36) and is also a sister station to Estrella TV affiliate KOCY-LP (channel 48).
All three stations share studio facilities located near Southeast 51st Street and Shields Boulevard in south Oklahoma City, KTUZ's transmitter is located near 86th Street and Ridgeway Road (south of Britton Road) in northeast Oklahoma City. The station is also available on Cox Communications channel 5 and AT&T U-verse channel 30; there is a high definition feed available on Cox digital cable channel 792.
A construction permit application to build a television station on UHF channel 30 was submitted to the Federal Communications Commission 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.
