Well, this is big... and something you'd expect from Sinclair in small markets, but now it's coming to the middle markets too.
Sinclair is consolidating KTUL news production with KOKH in Oklahoma City. Sounds like a few on-air folks have already been let go, but the axe will likely continue to swing as KTUL's Tulsa facility basically becomes a newsroom only with broadcasts originating from OKC beginning December 11.
From the Tulsa World article:
I can't find anything about this on the KTUL site, so it sounds like it's being kept sortof quiet. Given the fast developments, I'm guessing the KTUL and KOKH shows will become something like "Oklahoma News Now" statewide shows, and not truly local to either market.
What a shame, and a sad end for one of the foundational TV and journalism brands in the state.
