KUTU was founded on December 30, 1994 as very low-power K25FF. However the call letters were never used on-air. The station was finally granted a license sometime in 1996 under the call letters KLOT-LP. Then finally, the station was sold to Equity Broadcasting of Little Rock, Arkansas (under the licensee "Woodward Broadcasting, Inc."), and was handed the Univision affiliation on March 1, 2005. Upon such changes, the station was given the call letters KUTU-CA.
On June 25, 2008, Equity disclosed that it was selling KUTU to Luken Communications, LLC.[1] The sale came about as Equity Media Holdings had filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2008,[2] offers by Luken Communications to acquire Equity-owned stations in six markets were later withdrawn.[3] KUTU was sold at auction to Tyler Media Group on April 16, 2009.[4] The following year, the station filed a construction permit to move to channel 45 and at the same time, upgrade its transmitter's effective radiated power from 5.06 kilowatts to about 25 kilowatts. In December 2011, KUTU ended analog operations and flash-cut its signal to digital, and given its current call letters KUTU-CD.
In August 2011, the station began simulcasting the 5 and 10 p.m. weeknight newscasts from its Oklahoma City sister station, Telemundo affiliate KTUZ-TV, upon the rebranding of its newscasts as Accion Oklahoma (a variant of the Action News branding). Weather forecast segments during the newscasts include current conditions and seven-day forecasts for the Tulsa area, in addition to the Oklahoma City area.
