In 1976, following original owner Gaylord Broadcasting (a subsidiary of the Oklahoma Publishing Company, formerly known as the WKY Television System) sold the station to the Evening News Association, WKY-TV changed its callsign to KTVY due to FCC rules. The same '4' from the final years as WKY-TV was kept.
Same basic design as the 1980 logo, but it is now rendered in gold and was de-lined.
Version with just the channel number, used mainly as an ID in NBC network promos, accompanied by the KTVY calls and city of license in NBC's proprietary version of the Futura typeface
In April 1990, KTVY changed its callsign to the current KFOR-TV; it branded itself as "4 Strong" for entertainment purposes, and as NewsTeam 4 for its newscasts, though the general and news brandings changed to NewsChannel 4 in August 1992, near the end of the "4 Strong" era. This '4' logo, despite a few color changes along the way, has remained the only logo the station has used since it became KFOR-TV.
KFOR-TV/DT logo, used from 1999 to 2008 (the "-DT" suffix was added to the original 1994 alternate logo once KFOR commenced digital television broadcasts).
This updated version of the 1997 logo was introduced on August 8, 2008, coinciding with the start of NBC's coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China; the "4" logo's color was changed from yellow to blue in this revamp.9

On August 21, 2017, KFOR-TV moved to a new studio facility next door to its original Britton Road studio (which it had occupied since 1952). Coinciding with the debut of a new set, graphics package and news theme, the station also renamed itself to Oklahoma's News 4, dropping the Channel part of the name after 23 years.
