History

As WKY-TV

The station first signed on the air on June 6, 1949 as WKY-TV; it was the first television station to sign on in Oklahoma, debuting five months before KOTV in Tulsa. Channel 4 was founded by the Oklahoma Publishing Company (owned by the family of founder Edward K. Gaylord), publishers of the morning Daily Oklahoman and evening Oklahoma Times newspapers, and owners of radio station WKY (930 AM) – from which the television station inherited its original call letters. The station has been a primary NBC affiliate since it signed on (owing to WKY radio's longtime affiliation with the NBC Red Network), although it originally held secondary affiliations with CBS, ABC and the DuMont Television Network. The station's first studio facilities were housed in the Municipal Auditorium in downtown Oklahoma City, with a secondary studio that was used for the production of local programs based at the Little Theatre.
