KOCI

3**Not related to the real-life classic rock radio station in Newport Beach, California.
KOCI is the TCN owned-and-operated station in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is owned by TCN Owned Stations, Inc.
== History ==
Channel 8 began broadcasting on July 13, 1998, one month after a tornado outbreak in the area it served. Owned by Confection Broadcasting, it was an affiliate of The Chance Network, in addition to syndicated programs such as Judge Judy and NewsRadio. An hour-long 9 p.m. newscast, OKC Tonight, launched in late 1999.
In 2000, following the success of OKC Tonight, a 7 to 9 a.m. local morning newscast, OKC Today, debuted on the station. This was followed by the addition of an hour-long 5 p.m. show in 2002. Confection sold the station to Nexstar Broadcasting Group later that year. 
In 2005, weekend evening news came to KOCI; the morning newscast was moved back to 5 a.m., with The Daily Buzz airing at 7. It aired then until 2007, when TCN News This Morning premiered nationally.
TCN Owned Stations, Inc. bought the station in 2008. To fit with the rest of the group's stations, newscasts were rebranded to NewsChannel8, with a weekend morning edition being added to the schedule. 
Syndicated programming seen on KOCI includes The Six, Chicago Fire, and Entertainment Tonight. Like other TCN owned-and-operated stations, it airs a local sports show on Sunday evenings; KOCI Sports Frenzy airs weekly at 9:30 p.m.
