62/50	KOPX-TV/DT	ION Television	ION Media Networks	[18]

The six network-affiliated television stations in the area do not operate any full-power satellite stations, despite the western portions of the market being underserved by any network affiliates' signal (though NBC affiliate KFOR-TV and independent station KSBI-TV do have low-power translators serving these areas) therefore, cable or satellite television is required to receive Oklahoma City television stations). In order to receive KFOR, KOCO, KWTV, KOKH, KOCB or KAUT in those areas, cable television is required.

The only full-power network-affiliated television stations to serve the market were KVIJ (channel 8; originally a CBS affiliate and later a satellite of Amarillo ABC affilaite KVII) in Sayre, which ceased operations in 1992, and ABC affiliate KGEO (channel 5) which moved from Enid to Oklahoma City in 1958, and is now the present-day KOCO-TV.

Most of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is serviced by Cox Communications. Multimedia Cablevision previously serviced the suburbs of the city but switched over to Cox service when Multimedia lent its service area to Cox in February 2000.
