Living On Tulsa Time: KOTV

In October of 1949, KOTV became Oklahoma’s second television station and claimed to have the largest studios in the US, which were built in a former Intentional Harvester dealership.

This photo from 1952 shows that, even though they didn’t have pedestals for their RCA TK30s, they did have the brand-new RCA Electra Zoom lens, which debuted with the “Today” show at NBC.
Enjoy and share. -Bobby Ellerbee

    It’s amazing to think that we worked in that same building and studios until just a couple of years ago. And no, contrary to popular belief, I did not work here when that picture was taken! I’ve been here a long time, but not that long.
