When WKY AM and TV were split, it is my understanding they wanted KYTV (which is in Springfield, MO), but they couldn't get those call letters changed so they grabbed KTVY to honour the WKY heritage.
KTVQ was the ABC affiliate in OKC in the 50's (channel 25) but it went dark in the late 50's after KOCO (then KGEO) channel 5 moved to OKC from Enid. KTVX was the former call letters of Tulsa's KTUL. Neither was related to KTVY in any way. I've never heard of KTVZ.
@devulboy1 KTVZ is the NBC affiliate in Bend, Oregon.

Whoa, major blast from the past there. This must be from like the late 70s or something. I was tiny when channel 4 was KTVY.
