[edit] Translators

KSBI-TV broadcasts across the state of Oklahoma through the following translators:

KSBI is Oklahoma's only commercial, locally-owned statewide television network.


[edit] KSBI across Oklahoma

KSBI, unlike most other television stations in the Oklahoma City area, airs its programming statewide. KSBI has transmitters across Oklahoma including two in the Tulsa area. KSBI can be seen as far south as Wichita Falls, Texas, and as far north as Wichita, Kansas.

[edit] Programming

KSBI's programming philosophy is family-oriented and contains little or no overt sexual content, overt violence, or strong language. Most of KSBI's secular programming consists of series from the 1970s to the 1990s. The schedule previously had select programming from the 1960s, however, all series from that decade that aired on KSBI have been purged from the schedule.

[edit] News and Weather Operations

In 2006, KSBI launched a local newscast called Oklahoma News Tonight anchored by Kealey McIntire and Monica Price, making it the only newscast in Oklahoma to feature an all-female anchor and reporting teams. The newscast airs for an hour starting at 5:30pm weeknights.

[edit] KSBI StateCam Network

Since the early 1990s, television stations that emphasize on news and weather have used stationary cameras located primarily on outdoor antenna towers to show the current weather, monitor traffic flow or sometimes for use in breaking news. However, since the coverage areas of most television stations reach only as much as 70 miles and the fact these stations focus primarily focuses on the market it serves and its/their surrounding areas, these cameras are usually placed inside the metropolitan statistical area. KSBI's StateCam Network is a camera network placed across the state of Oklahoma showing weather conditions. The camera network reaches as far west as Sayre and as far south as Ardmore. The camera network has proven to be very useful during severe weather and breaking news situations. The KSBI storm team was covering severe weather and caught a tornado in the El Reno area in April 2006, which damaged the city's municipal airport.


[edit] Sports

KSBI-TV produces and broadcasts local non-professional sports including high school basketball and football games. KSBI-TV holds the contractual exclusive rights to air post season high school sports in Oklahoma

KSBI also airs football and basketball games from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) via Lincoln Financial Sports (known as Jefferson Pilot Sports until 2006). KSBI has also aired games from the Kansas City Royals via RSTN, the Royals Sports Television Network during the 2004 season. All Royals games broadcast by RSTN since the 2005 season have aired on sister station KXOC 41.
