Bingo!!!

Welcome to a local TV sports director who is owned lock, stock & barrel by OSU, with a sidekick equally owned by OU.

I like local TV stations. KOTV does not fall in that category. Blevins runs the sports departments of both OKC's channel 9 and Tulsa's channel 6.

And Holcomb either has no pride in this fair city ... or has no journalistic integrity.

I really like Al Jerkins, but his radio days seem to have flavored how he steers Channel Two's coverage ... and Chris Lincoln doesn't seem to direct KTUL's efforts as strongly as I'd hoped.

He loves TU and tries to even out their coverage ... but Diaz is just soooo in love with the Big XII and himself that Channel Eight falls short.

Thank God for the Tulsa World and the Picker for treating TU (and ORU in bball) equally ... because they are local.

Thanks, Picker!!!

What channel will the C-USA final game be on (with or without Tulsa)???

6!!! That's an incredibly easy connection to make too, if only for self-promotion and possibly more ratings. But no, I guess it's not a big deal.
Even if Tulsa does make it to the biggest game of the past few seasons, it will only be on their channel because it was scheduled previously and OSU still has WAY more money.

Excellent point, Picker. Flipping channels tonight revealed the following in order of presentation:

1. OSU's loss to Texas
2. OU's snoozer win over Colorado
3. Replay of OSU WOMEN's basketball win over Texas
4. Commercials
5. TU's win over UTEP to advance to conf tourney final against #2 Memphis.
6. ORU's conf tourney win

That's why I try to stick with on-line news outlets to view better stories about our local Tulsa team.

Pathetic.

What a long decline must have occurred at KOTV. On the air, there used to be TU graduates like Bob Losure and Gailard Sartain. Now the university couldn't get air time unless it bought it. Perhaps they could buy the first commercial time on the newscast to get information out about TU sports. What a pathetic station KOTV has become. Its too bad a decent corporation like Belo no longer owns KOTV. Judging by the comments I have heard, Griffin communications must be a very poorly run company.

That's really funny how channel 6 is getting bashed for their coverage of TU when they were the only local television station in Memphis covering the Golden Hurricane at the Conference USA Tournament.

Tyler you ignorant redneck farmer. OTV is contractually obligated to carry the C-USA title game...I'm only half-surprised that they didn't run some "Gimme the Mike" promo or Oklahoma Gems show. I hate watching the KOTV "sports" coverage because it means ten minutes of red this, orange that...even when TU was handing it to both those schools in basketball...an OU loss or an OSU hang-nail on the starting point guard was covered first, not that TU had just won 32 games! Granted we are building our way back to those days, but pig-farmer Holcomb needs to understand that OSU is not going anywhere soon while TU continues to bring in players that will soon challenge in the NCAA's. When was the last time OSU had a 7-footer who was coordinated on offense and frightened players who tried to bring the ball to the basket...yes that's right, Big Country 15 years ago. We'll see how it goes when TU challenges for another C-USA title in football next year while Boone Pickens U. fights to beat D-IAA opponents, gets clobbered in Big XII play and wonders to see if the Independence Bowl is interested in them, and in basketball where OSU beats up on the local convent teams, goes 6-10 in the Big XII and wonders if they'll host an NIT game when TU is fighting its way to recapture the golden years of TU basketball...Holcomb sucks and he should get his nose out of Blevins' a$$.

Did anyone notice the 300 people that were at the game when TU played mighty UTEP? Case solved!

At least on the local scene, there are some good TV newswomen!

Sorry about the link. It's now fixed.
