KTBO-TV, virtual channel 14 (UHF digital channel 15), is a TBN owned-and-operated television station located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. The station is owned by Trinity Broadcasting Network, Inc. KTBO maintains studio facilities and offices located on Northeast 108th Street and East Hefner Road, and its transmitter is located near the John Kilpatrick Turnpike/Interstate 44, both on Oklahoma City's northeast side.

History

The channel 14 allocation in Oklahoma City was first assigned to KLPR-TV, which operated from September 1966 to December 1967 as an independent station.

KTBO-TV first signed on the air on March 6, 1981, and was one of several partner stations that were built and signed on by TBN, instead of being acquired from another company. It was also the fourth Trinity Broadcasting Network partner station to sign on (after flagship station KTBN-TV in Santa Ana, California, KPAZ-TV in Phoenix, Arizona and WHFT-TV in Miami, Florida). The current channel 14 (as KTBO) operates under a different license, and has never claimed KLPR-TV as part of its history.

Digital television[1]

This station's digital signal, like most other full-service TBN owned-and-operated stations, carries five different TBN-run networks.

Channel Video Aspect PSIP Short Name Programming
14.1 480i 4:3 TBN Main TBN programming
14.2 TCC The Church Channel
14.3 COMBO JUCE TV/Smile of a Child TV
14.4 Enlace Enlace USA
14.5 SALSA TBN Salsa

TBN-owned full-power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on April 16, 2009.

KTBO-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 14, on that date.[2] The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 15, using PSIP to display KTBO-TV's virtual channel as 14 on digital television receivers.
