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. ==History== 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. In 2004 Equity Broadcasting acquired KUOK (channel 35) in Woodward, KCHM-LP (channel 36, now KUOK-LP) and K69EK (channel 69, now KOCY-LP on channel 48) in Oklahoma City, and KOKT-LP (channel 20) in Sulphur, and switched their affiliations to Univision with the latter two stations serving as repeaters of KUOK (Tyler would later acquire the four stations on April 16, 2009). That August, KQOK was sold to Oklahoma City-based Tyler Media Group,〔(Application for Consent to Assignment of Broadcast Station Construction Permit or License ), August 10, 2004.〕 becoming the company's first television station property. Under Tyler Media, channel 30 became a Telemundo affiliate in early February 2005, delayed from an original target date of December 1, 2004. The station's callsign was also changed to KTUZ-TV (after its sister radio station KTUZ-FM).〔(Local television station to have Spanish shows ), ''The Oklahoman'', October 23, 2004.〕 Prior to the analog television shutdown, KTUZ-TV's analog and digital signal patterns offered different coverage across Central Oklahoma; the station's analog transmitter was located near SE 179th and East Westminster Drive in northeastern Cleveland County, near Moore. It provided city-grade coverage to Norman and Moore, but only provided "rimshot" coverage to Oklahoma City proper. Its analog signal was marginal at best in central portions of the city (especially in suburbs such as Forest Park, Nichols Hills and Spencer), and could not be seen at all in many of the northern suburbs (such as Edmond). Despite this, the station did not offer a low-power repeater to give it a city-grade signal throughout the immediate Oklahoma City area. The digital signal, however provides city-grade coverage to the entire Oklahoma City metropolitan area as that transmitter is located in the northeast side of the city, where most of the market's television stations maintain their transmitters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KTUZ-TV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
