WKOI-TV, virtual channel 43, is a television station owned and operated by the Trinity Broadcasting Network and is one of the network's original affiliates. It is licensed to Richmond, Indiana with a tower located on SR 73 west of Collinsville, Ohio, approximately halfway between Richmond and Cincinnati. The station's broadcasts can be seen on digital channel 39 in Northern Kentucky, Southwestern Ohio, and Eastern Indiana, hence its callsign WKOI. Even though the transmitter is in Butler County, Ohio (within the Cincinnati television market), its city of license, Richmond, is part of the Dayton, Ohio market.
WKOI carries TBN programming for much of its broadcast day, but breaks away from the network once a week for local community public affairs programming.
WKOI's programming was previously relayed on W20CL channel 20 in Springfield, Ohio and W36DG in Cincinnati. A deal was reached to sell W20CL (now WLWD-LP Dayton)[1] to Word of God Fellowship, owner of the Daystar Television Network, on March 19, 2010;[2] W36DG would also be sold to Daystar, becoming WDYC-LP.[3]
This station's digital signal, like most other full-service TBN owned-and-operated stations, carries five different TBN-run networks.
