FIFY.

There hasn't been hard broadcast news in OK in about, oh, 30 years since the consultants came in and basically eliminated hard investigative reporting. Those old enough to remember can recall when local media discovered the illegal tax breaks being given to GM by the Oklahoma Industries Authority, which caused local TV to go essentially head-to-head with the Gaylords IIRC; or the county commissioners scandal (which as at least as much print as broadcast, in fairness, as I recall). Terri Watkins headed up much of the investigative reporting at KOCO during that time, as I recall, and sadly she likely wouldn't pass the "cutesy/happytalk" test that seems mandatory for anyone at the anchor desk these days.
