KUOK - Newscasts

Newscasts

From 2005 until May 2008, KUOK aired a daily half-hour weeknight-only newscast Noticias Univision Oklahoma at 5 and 10 p.m. Previously, KUOK and its translators aired former Little Rock sister station KLRA-LP's regional Spanish-language newscast Noticias Univision Arkansas (later Noticias Univision Arkansas-Oklahoma) in the 5 and 10 p.m. timeslots before KUOK stopped rebroadcasting KLRA-LP's broadcast feed. All of the newscasts were produced and broadcast out of Equity Broadcasting's headquarters in Little Rock. On June 6, 2008, Equity discontinued local newscasts at its six Univision affiliates, including KUOK.

Although sister station KTUZ-TV carries local newscasts at 5 and 10 p.m. weeknights, these newscasts are not simulcast on KUOK (though they are carried on sister station KUTU-CD in Tulsa, as of August 2011); instead of local news programming, KUOK currently airs half-hour telenovelas broadcast by Univision at 5 p.m., and the network's late night newsmagazine series Primer Impacto Extra at 10 p.m. In addition, the station runs a slide showing the Oklahoma City area weather forecast for the next seven days (along with FCC-mandated identification for the station and its repeaters) at approximately the top and bottom of each hour during station breaks, along with news and weather updates on weekday mornings airing between 6:25 and 8:25 a.m. during ¡Despierta América!.
