History
[
edit
]
The station first signed on the air July 1, 1987 as
KXON-TV
(which was previously used by
NBC
affiliate
KDLT-TV
in
Sioux Falls, South Dakota
). In the early days, the station carried programming from
The Learning Channel
. It was the only broadcast television station affiliated with TLC. At the time, the cable network was more educational in nature. Network commercials were covered with
PSAs
and station promos.
The station originally broadcast with a power of 5,000
watts
from a 300-foot (91 m) tower located on the campus of Rogers State. The power was increased to 2.75 million watts in 1991 when the station moved to a new 850-foot (260 m) tower near Lake Oologah. The station changed its callsign to
KRSC-TV
(for "Rogers State College", an earlier name of the university) on July 1, 1992 (prior to being used by the Claremore station, the callsign was previously used by NBC affiliate
KING-TV
in
Seattle
). On September 24, 2013, the station's call letters were changed to
KRSU-TV
(updated to reflect the current Rogers State University name).
