KXOC-LP, UHF analog channel 41, is a low-powered Tuff TV-affiliated television station in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The station is owned by locally-based Family Broadcasting Group of Oklahoma, Inc., and is a sister station to MyNetworkTV affiliate KSBI (channel 52). The two stations share studio facilities located on North Morgan Road (near Britton Road and the Kilpatrick Turnpike) in Yukon, KXOC maintains transmitter facilities near the John Kilpatrick Turnpike/Interstate 44 in northeast Oklahoma City.

History

The station first signed on the air in 1995 as K54DJ, broadcasting on UHF channel 54; it was originally affiliated with Pittsburgh-based religious broadcast network Cornerstone Television. KXOC-LP became an affiliate of America One in 1999; after being acquired by Locke Supply in the late 1990s, the station also carried some select programs from then Locke-owned KSBI, along with some paid programming. After the company decided to sell KXOC, KSBI and its translators to focus on operating the Locke Supply regional hardware store chain, Locke Supply sold the stations to the Family Broadcasting Group, a locally-based company that was founded by former KWTV meteorologist Brady Brus; his wife, certified public accountant and treasurer Angie Brus; his sister and local media personality Brenda Bennett and Jon Bowie of Seekfirst Media LLC;^[1]^[2] the sale was finalized in March 2004.^[3] In July 2005, KXOC-LP relocated its signal to UHF channel 41.

Due to its low-power analog status, KXOC-LP does not currently operate a digital signal of its own; furthermore, the station's broadcasting radius does not reach the entire Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Therefore from February 20, 2009 to September 16, 2012, the station was also seen through a standard definition simulcast on KSBI digital subchannel 51.2 (virtual channel 52.2 via PSIP) in order to reach the entire market. KXOC-LP also began to be carried on Cox Communications digital channel 215, through the KSBI digital simulcast.

The KXOC transmission tower was disassembled in early 2011 as it vacated its former studios at the corporate headquarters of Locke Supply in southeast Oklahoma City, and moved to new studios in the northwest Oklahoma City exurb of Yukon. On March 7, 2011, KXOC-LP became an affiliate of Luken Communications' male-oriented digital broadcast network Tuff TV.^[4] On September 17, 2012, KSBI discontinued its digital simulcast of KXOC-LP on its 52.2 subchannel after acquiring an affiliation with movie channel This TV, while KXOC retained its affiliation with Tuff TV.

Analog-to-digital conversion

On September 16, 2009, the Federal Communications Commission granted an application for KXOC-LP to construct digital transmitter facilities on its existing tower; under the permit, KXOC-LP will broadcast its digital signal on its existing analog channel assignment of UHF 41 and is required to shut down its analog operations and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").^[6] All low-powered television stations (including translators and Class-A stations) continuing to broadcast in analog are required to broadcast in digital-only or shut down entirely by September 1, 2015.^[7]
