News Operation
KTUL broadcasts a total of 27 hours of local news per week (with five hours on weekdays and two hours each on Saturdays and Sundays); unlike most ABC affiliates, KTUL does not carry a local newscast in a weekday midday timeslot (although none of Oklahoma's standalone ABC affiliates carry a midday newscast, though the ABC-affiliated digital subchannel of Ada NBC affiliate KTEN simulcasts KTEN's midday newscast). The station also produces a local sports show called Ford Sports Xtra, airing Sundays after the 10 p.m. newscast, featuring sports-related questions, competing with The Oklahoma Sports Blitz airing on rival KOTV.
On August 22, 2011, KTUL became the third television station in the Tulsa market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition. This leaves KOTV as the only station in the market not currently producing its local newscasts in true HD, KOTV upgraded its news programming to 16:9 enhanced definition widescreen in October 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or operation:
“There’s a long story, my friend. I never did like the idea of sitting on newspapers. I did it once and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level, it actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news off the seat of my pants.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
