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