Smullin of California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc., the station now serves as a repeater facility for sister station KOBI-TV NBC 5 of Medford, Oregon. The call letters KOTI are believed to have come from the city's local four-year college, the Oregon Institute of Technology(formerly Oregon Technical Institute). Originally KOTI carried all three networks.
