Tulsa has an interesting history. Many of the places that figure in our history are still standing. Here is a look at some of these places then and now.

TV Channel 2, KVOO (KJRH) in Tulsa, 1954
3701 South Peoria Ave
KVOO radio broadcast at 50,000 watts for many years and has a rich history in Tulsa radio. IN 1954 KVOO opened a new broadcast facility in the heart of the Brookside neighborhood and went on the air with television channel 2.
Above is a fine artists drawing of the new station. It really is not possible to get far enough away to get that good a perspective.
Tulsa TV Memories has a good history of both the radio station (HERE) and the TV station (HERE).
Television Channel 2 is the NBC station in Tulsa. Located in the tower is a live web cam which shares the view of Brookside. On a good day you might see my house. The station's website is HERE.
My father was Bob Shaw, he was on the air doing radio, and tv.where can I get some old pictures?
ReplyDeleteI don't know about pictures but I worked with your dad at Channel 2. He was one of my mentors on doing on camera TV weather.
