News 9 Now and News on 6 Now are digital broadcast television networks owned and operated by Griffin Communications, owner of CBS affiliates KWTV-DT (channel 9) in Oklahoma City and KOTV-DT (channel 6) in Tulsa serving the two largest media markets in Oklahoma. The services were developed out of News Now 53, a regional cable news channel that operated from December 1996 to April 2011, exclusively on Cox Communications systems (who operated the channel in a partnership with Griffin Communications).
News 9 Now is broadcast on Cox cable channel 53 in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, while News on 6 Now is broadcast on Cox cable channel 53 in the Tulsa metropolitan area. The channels carry news rebroadcasts from both Griffin-owned CBS affiliates as well as live simulcasts of the two station's newscasts in their respective markets.
Famous quotes containing the word news:
“These men, in teaching us how to die, have at the same time taught us how to live. If this man’s acts and words do not create a revival, it will be the severest possible satire on the acts and words that do. It is the best news that America has ever heard.... How many a man who was lately contemplating suicide has now something to live for!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
