when it began operations the station maintained a 24 hour family oriented programming format consisting mostly of religious programs along with a few classic and public domain television programs . in june 1999 during the broadcast of two children s programs that aired on the station kwmj ran an advertisement for a videotape of the program that was being aired at the time followed by an commercial for a toy resembling a character from that program . under the federal communications commission s children s television act the usage of character tie ins in advertising during children s programs is treated as a program length commercial in violation with an advertising clause in the act . the station originally was to be fined 8 000 but kgeb managed to get the fine reduced by 20 % as remedial action had been taken and there had not been any other problems since then ; this was also because the error came from a syndicator that distributed the program and not kgeb . 1 the station changed its callsign to kgeb on november 29 1999 becoming the originating station of the golden eagle broadcasting now geb america network the kgeb call letters were used fictionally in the 1953 science fiction film adaptation of the war of the worlds appearing on the truck and microphone of a radio news reporter covering the army s first engagement with the martian invaders . by this point the station gradually shifted towards a lineup mainly featuring religious programming including programs produced by the station such as weekly services from the oru chapel as well as syndicated religious programs both those distributed exclusively to religious broadcasters and those distributed to both religious and commercial broadcasters including programs from televangelists such as kenneth copeland jim bakker joel osteen and joyce meyer as well as a very sparse amount of secular programming and a block of children s programs complying with the federal communications commission s educational programming guidelines on saturdays . digital television edit digital channel edit channel video aspect psip short name programming 2 hd 1080i 16 9 kgeb dt main kgeb programming geb america analog to digital conversion edit kgeb shut down its analog signal over uhf channel 53 on june 12 2009 the official date in which full power television stations in the united states transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate . the station s digital signal remained on its pre transition uhf channel 49 . 3 through the use of psip digital television receivers display the station s virtual channel as its former uhf analog channel 53 which was among the high band uhf channels 52 69 that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition . references edit fcc fines two stations over ads during kids programs broadcasting & cable april 9 2010 . rabbitears tv query for kgeb dtv tentative channel designations for the first and second rounds pdf . retrieved 2012 03 24 . external links edit www.kgebamerica.com kgeb official website www.gebamerica.com geb america official website www.oru.edu oral roberts university official website query the fcc s tv station database for kgeb biafn s media web database information on kgeb tv v t e broadcast television in east central oklahoma including tulsa reception may vary by location and some stations may only be viewable with cable television local stations english kjrh tv 2.1 nbc 2.2 bounce 2.3 laff kotv 6.1 cbs 6.2 cw 6.3 news on 6 now ktul 8.1 abc 8.2 comet 8.3 retro tv koed koet 11.1 3.1 pbs oeta 11.2 3.2 okla 11.3 3.3 create 11.4 3.4 pbs kids k15da mynetworktv kqcw tv 19.1 the cw 19.2 this tv koki tv 23.1 fox 23.2 metv 23.3 escape kmyt tv 41.1 mynetworktv 41.2 gettv 41.3 grit 41.4 h & i ktpx 44.1 ion 44.2 qubo 44.3 ion life 44.4 ion shop 44.5 qvc over air 44.6 hsn kwhb 47.2 cozi tv spanish kutu cd 25.1 uni 25.2 telemundo kxap ld 51.1 estrella religious kdor 17.1 tbn 17.2 hillsong 17.3 smile juce tv 17.4 enlace 17.5 salsa ktzt cd 29 daystar kwhb 47.1 47.3 lesea kgeb 53.1 geb america outlying areas k16kr d 16 a1 mcalester krsu tv 35.1 35.2 edu . ind. claremore k50jg 50 dark independence ks adjacent locals fort smith kfsm 5.1 cbs 5.2 mynetworktv antenna tv kaft 13.1 pbs 13.2 create 13.3 aetn plus pbs kids aetn scholar world kfta 24.1 fox 24.2 nbc khbs 40.1 khog 29.1 abc 40.2 29.2 cw knwa tv 51.1 nbc 51.2 fox joplin koam tv 7.1 cbs 7.2 fox kode 12.1 abc kfjx 14.1 fox ksnf 16.1 nbc oklahoma city kfor 4.1 nbc 4.2 antenna tv koco 5.1 abc 5.2 metv kwtv 9.1 cbs 9.2 news 9 now keta 13.1 pbs 13.2 okla 13.3 create 13.4 pbs kids kokh 25.1 fox 25.2 zuus country springfield kytv 3.1 nbc 3.2 wn ktko 8.1 metv kolr 10.1 cbs kozk 21.1 pbs 21.2 opt ed 21.3 create kozl tv 27.1 ind. kspr 33.1 abc 33.2 cw wichita ksnw 3.1 nbc kpts 8.1 pbs 8.2 explore 8.3 create kake 10.1 abc 10.2 metv kwch dt 12.1 cbs 12.2 weather ksas 24.1 fox 24.2 antenna tv cable channels the cox channel defunct kceb 23 nbc abc dumont kelf lp 49 a1 miami news now 53 cable 1 1 this channel currently exists as news on 6 now available on kotv dt 6.3 and on area cable systems . oklahoma broadcast television areas by city ada sherman tx amarillo tx fort smith ar eastern ok joplin mo northeast ok lawton wichita falls tx oklahoma city metro texarkana tx ar shreveport la tulsa east central ok see also topeka tv v t e other television stations in the state of oklahoma america one k16kr d 16 mcalester ktew ld 27 ponca city kxok ld 32 enid antenna tv kfor dt 4.3 oklahoma city zuus country kokh dt 25.2 oklahoma city kmyt dt 41.2 tulsa daystar kocm 46 norman geb kgeb 53 tulsa ion television ktpx 44 okmulgee kopx 62 oklahoma city ion life ktpx 44.2 okmulgee kopx 62.2 oklahoma city qubo ktpx 44.3 okmulgee kopx 62.3 oklahoma city lesea kwhb 47 tulsa live well kjrh dt 2.2 tulsa me tv koco dt 5.2 oklahoma city ;
