Celebrating 70 years: Channel 2's legacy and future

A legacy of Connection: Celebrating 70 years of storytelling in Green Country

For the past seven decades, the heartbeat of Green Country has been captured through the lens of one newsroom.

From covering historic events to shining a light on untold stories, our mission has been clear: to listen, advocate, champion, and hold accountable the people and institutions that shape Oklahoma.

Celebrating 70 Years: How Channel 2 started

On Dec. 5, 2024, we commemorate our 70th anniversary — a milestone that not only reflects our history but also looks toward the future of storytelling in a rapidly changing world.

A shared Journey

Since the station's founding, we’ve grown alongside Tulsa and the communities of Green Country. When we first went on air, our region was a much different place.

Tulsa was still finding its identity, and television was a budding medium. But one thing was clear from the start — this newsroom would be a voice for the people.
