KXII-DT3
Encyclopedia
KXII-DT3 is a subchannel of KXII
known on-air as "Fox Texoma" and has been in operation since 2006. It is the first full time local Fox station for the Sherman-Ada DMA and broadcasts in 720p High Definition. Its studios are in Sherman, Texas
, with its main transmitter in Madill, Oklahoma
.
It has been available to local cable providers and satellite providers as well as anybody with the capability to receive digital subchannels over the air. It has never been offered with an analogue signal. Since 2009, Fox Texoma is available to all viewers in the DMA because of the Digital Transition to ATSC
in the United States
. Because of the Sherman-Ada area has had only two main stations before 2006, many television viewers rely on outdoor antennas which can get reception from Dallas-Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Fort Smith, and Wichita Falls-Lawton.
In Ardmore, Fox Texoma is located on Channel 5 with an HDTV feed on channel 475. In Sherman, Fox Texoma was not offered until June 2009. In Ada, Fox Texoma is offered on Channel 2.
Before Fox was offered in Sherman, KDFW
was available.
Viewers relying on Satellite subscriptions can either request the Sherman-Ada stations or combine a satellite feed with an outdoor antenna.
Prior to September 2009, Fox Texoma did not offer local news and weather coverage, with the exception of breaking weather alerts.
In September 2009, Fox Texoma began to offer five minutes of news and weather every Monday to Friday at 9:00PM CT. The segments were similar to KXII-DT1's news clips that air in between segments of The Early Show. The weather & news was only local coverage and the studio design & music was identical to KXII DT-1's First News (which itself uses the default music that CBS stations use for their local news). The clips on DT3 were hosted by DT1's evening news anchors.
Fox Texoma presents Sports Overtime, an occasional First Sports program on Friday nights. There is also an interviewing program called "First News Forum". Breaking weather alerts air on KXII and both subchannels. If breaking local or regional news occurs, it airs on DT1 while an SD CBS feed has aired on DT2. KXII is presently unable to broadcast MyTexoma in HDTV because of video and aspect capabilities of individual signals with multiplexed ATSC
broadcasts.
The clips that were regularly scheduled on weeknights were known on-air as "First News At Nine". "First News Forum" is hosted by Daniel Armbruster. Fox News articles are not on KXII's web channel. The Fox Texoma page on KXII.com was originally powered by TMZ.com and only displayed content from that website.
Since September 2011, Fox Texoma began to air its newscasts in High Definition, and expanded its newscasts to 5 hours per week. The programming airs at 5:30PM CT and 9:00PM CT Monday through Friday. Reporters fill in whenever the regular personalities are not available. To individualize itself from its main CBS channel, KXII launched different designs and music, as well as a news anchor & a weather anchor dedicated to Fox Texoma newscasts. The Fox Texoma website has been redesigned and now contains a link to FoxNews.com. KXII-DT3 has yet to produce a "Good Day Texoma" program, as well as coverage from Fox News correspondents.
