Digital Television
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
| Channel | Video | Aspect | PSIP Short Name | Programming |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.1 | 720p | 16:9 | KOCO-HD | Main KOCO-TV programming / ABC |
| 5.2 | 480i | 4:3 | KOCO-SD | Me-TV |
Since October 1, 2012, KOCO digital subchannel 5.2 has been the market's Me-TV affiliate as part of a five-year affiliation extension signed on July 24, 2012 that saw KOCO and four other stations join the network alongside Hearst's eight existing Me-TV affiliates. The subchannel may be used to air ABC programming due to extended severe weather or breaking news coverage seen on KOCO's main channel.
From 2005 to April 2008, 5.2 ran the station's weather radar "Advantage Doppler HD" with NOAA Weather Radio audio from WXK85. From April 2008 to January 23, 2011, the 5.2 subchannel operated as "First Alert Weather 24/7" (affiliated with The Local AccuWeather Channel, with some daily E/I children's programming); it ran a simulcast of WDSU/New Orleans's coverage of Hurricane Gustav in September 2008 for evacuees that came to Oklahoma City from Louisiana. From January 24, 2011 to September 30, 2012, digital channel 5.2 served as the market's This TV affiliate (sharing the affiliation with KSBI-DT 52.2 from September 17-30, 2012 due to the late start date of KOCO's Me-TV affiliation).

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.”
—Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)
