KTUL - News Operation

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:

    When the newspapers have got nothing else to talk about, they cut loose on the young. The young are always news. If they are up to something, that’s news. If they aren’t, that’s news too.
    Kenneth Rexroth (1905–1982)

    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)
