KOCO beat KWTV as the first station in town with a chopper, but KWTV aired the first live video of a tornado from a helicopter in 1982. KOCO never really used Sky 5 for severe weather coverage.
So Koco had a helicopter in 1979, did the ownership changes have something to do with that, or did the fact that use of helicopter for tornado video had not been used widely yet have something to do with it, I think that koco may 3 1999 coverage would have been helped with a helicopter.

Okay, this isn't an opening for a newscast. Oklahoma Alive was more like a public affairs Sunday morning kind of show.

It cuts off on the end because we would cut to the set live in studio...with a trucking move and it would lead you into the first top story.

Why is it cut off on the end?

That's some funky (in a good way) theme music for the news. They're not written like that anymore.
