KXOC-LP
former low-power TV station in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
KXOC-LP (channel 41) was a low-power television station in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. Owned by locally based Family Broadcasting Group of Oklahoma, Inc., it was a sister station to MyNetworkTV affiliate KSBI (channel 52). The two stations shared studios on North Morgan Road (near Britton Road and the Kilpatrick Turnpike) in Yukon; KXOC-LP's transmitter was located near the John Kilpatrick Turnpike/Interstate 44 in northeast Oklahoma City.
History
The station first signed on the air on June 21, 1995, as K54DJ, broadcasting on UHF channel 54; it was originally affiliated with Pittsburgh-based religious broadcast network Cornerstone Television. KXOC-LP became an affiliate of America One in 1999; after being acquired by Locke Supply in the late 1990s, the station also carried some select programs from then Locke-owned KSBI, along with some paid programming. After the company decided to sell KXOC, KSBI and its translators to focus on operating the Locke Supply regional hardware store chain, Locke Supply sold the stations to the Family Broadcasting Group, a locally based company that was founded by former KWTV meteorologist Brady Brus; his wife, certified public accountant and treasurer Angie Brus; his sister and local media personality Brenda Bennett and Jon Bowie of Seekfirst Media LLC; the sale was finalized in March 2004. In July 2005, KXOC-LP relocated its signal to UHF channel 41.
Due to its low-power analog status, KXOC-LP did not operate a digital signal of its own; furthermore, the station's broadcasting radius did not reach the entire Oklahoma City market or even the entire metropolitan area. Therefore, from February 20, 2009, to September 16, 2012, the station was also seen through a standard definition simulcast on KSBI digital subchannel 52.2 in order to reach the entire market. KXOC-LP also began to be carried on Cox Communications digital channel 215, via the KSBI digital simulcast.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “KXOC-LP” as former low-power TV station in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as former low-power TV station in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 26, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6341404. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 1999, 2004 and 2005.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
