KFOR-TV 'Barnstorming1 Cover Story KFOR-TV says its new motto and new call letters are in keeping with the pioneering spirit in Oklahoma just as the station itself was a pioneer in television in 1949. At that time it was known as WKY later KTVY and today KFOR-TV (4). General manager Bill Katsafanas said, "We are making a total commitment to change our programs and our news to meet the needs of the people in Oklahoma. We are also promising to build a partnership with the community we serve." In keeping with this new commitment, the KFOR-TV news team will be ready at a moment's notice to travel anywhere in the state to cover a story. During May, reporter Kelly Ogle and photographer Chuck Musgrove will be putting together a series of reports called "Oklahoma Strong." "It's a barnstorming approach to news," said Ogle.

"Chopper-4 is ready for take-off day or night to go where news is happening. No distance is too great to travel, so call us if something happens in your town." "Oklahoma Strong" will give people across Oklahoma the chance to meet others who are working to build a better future. Viewers will see how towns are tackling tough problems and finding solutions. It will put Oklahomans in touch with each other and let them know about important issues that could affect their lives.
