The logo is based on that used by KTVT in Dallas-Fort Worth from 1993 to 1995, as an independent station; KOCB used most of that station's former graphical imaging during the timeframe in which this logo was used.
On January 16, 1995, KOCB became a charter affiliate of UPN.
KOCB became an affiliate of The WB on January 18, 1998, under an affiliation agreement signed the year prior between the network and station parent Sinclair Broadcast Group (which acquired KOCB and Fox-affiliated sister station WDKY-TV in Danville, Kentucky from Superior Communications in 1996) that resulted in Sinclair switching most of its UPN-affiliated stations to The WB.
UPN programming was unavailable in the Oklahoma City market for six months after the affiliation switch, until the Paramount Stations Group division of Viacom switched then-recent acquisition, KPSG (now KAUT-TV, which it acquired from the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority in January 1998), to the network on June 15, 1998.
