On March 1, 1958, KGEO moved its studio operations from Enid to Oklahoma City and changed its call letters to KOCO-TV; as a result, it became the ABC affiliate for the Oklahoma City area, taking the network's local affiliation rights from WKY-TV (channel 4, now KFOR-TV), which had previously replaced KTVQ (channel 25, channel allocation now occupied by KOKH-TV) as the city's ABC station when it signed off the air in 1956. KOCO relocated its transmitter to Oklahoma City in March 1964, per a FCC proposal (granted in July 1963) that formally shifted the VHF channel 5 allocation from Enid to Oklahoma City.

In November 1969, Cimarron Television announced that it would sell KOCO-TV to the Phoenix, Arizona-based Combined Communications Corporation (CCC) for $6.5 million. It was the first broadcast property ever acquired by CCC, which was formed earlier that year through the merger of the KTAR Broadcasting Company (owner of company flagships KTAR-AM-TV in Phoenix) and Eller Outdoor Advertising (a company founded by CCC president Karl Eller). The sale received FCC approval on July 17, 1970.

In February 1977, KOCO adopted "5 Alive" as its on-air branding, as part of Combined Communications' rollout of the "Alive" branding concept—which Peters Productions initially developed for Tribune Broadcasting-owned independent station WPIX (now a CW affiliate) in New York City in early 1976—on most of the group's television stations. Combined Communications would later be acquired by the Gannett Company for $370 million on June 7, 1979.

Concurrent with the introduction of this logo, KOCO retired the "5 Alive" branding that had been in use since 1977 (coinciding with then-Gannett and former Combined sister station WXIA-TV retiring - in their case temporarily - their "11 Alive" branding used for roughly the same time period).

On November 20, 1996, Gannett announced that it would sell KOCO-TV to San Antonio-based Argyle Television Holdings II (the successor company to the original Argyle Television, which sold most of its television stations to New World Communications in May 1994) for $20 million, in exchange for fellow ABC affiliate WZZM in Grand Rapids, Michigan and NBC affiliate WGRZ in Buffalo, New York. The acquisition—which, in the case of KOCO, addressed conflicts with Gannett's ownership of Multimedia Cablevision's suburban Oklahoma City systems, as FCC rules at the time barred common ownership of cable systems and television stations in the same media market—marked Hearst's return to the Oklahoma City market; the company owned radio station KOMA (1520 AM, now KOKC) from 1932 until 1938, when Hearst sold that station to John T. Griffin (who founded KWTV in 1953).
