KRSU-TV (branded on-air as RSU-TV) is an educational independent television station serving Oklahoma's Green Country region that is licensed to Claremore. It broadcasts a high-definition digital signal on UHF channel 36 (or virtual channel 35.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter located to the adjacent southeast of Oologah Lake in northern Rogers County.

Owned by Rogers State University, KRSU maintains studios located at the RSU campus on West Will Rogers Boulevard in Claremore. The station can also be seen on Cox Communications channel 109 and 110 and AT&T U-verse, Dish Network and DirecTV channel 35. There is a high definition feed available on Cox Communications digital channel 793. Operated by a paid staff with assistance from RSU students, it is the only full-powered public television station licensed to a public university in the state of Oklahoma and the only educational television station in Oklahoma that is not operated as a member station of the Public Broadcasting Service or part of the PBS statewide member network OETA.

The station's programming consists of cultural and educational programming, along with in-house documentaries, general interest and children's programming, college telecourses and interactive courses (part of RSU's distance learning programs), and overnight programming from Classic Arts Showcase.

History

The station signed on the air July 1, 1987 as KXON-TV. The station changed its callsign to KRSC-TV (which stands for Rogers State College, an earlier name of the university) on July 1, 1992 (prior to being used by the Claremore station, the callsign was previously used by the present-day KING-TV in Seattle, Washington). On September 24, 2013, the call letters were changed to KRSU-TV.^[2]

The station originally broadcast with a power of 5000 watts from a 300-foot (91 m) tower located on the campus of Rogers State. The power was increased to 2.75 million watts in 1991 when the station moved to a new 850-foot (260 m) tower near Lake Oologah.

In the early days, the station carried programming from The Learning Channel. It was the only broadcast television station affiliated with TLC. At the time, the cable network was more educational in nature. Network commercials were covered with station PSAs and promos.
