Rare 1960s TV Station Behind-the-Scenes - KOTV Tulsa OK Anchors, Studio, and Offices

Rare 1966-era film behind-the-scenes at KOTV Channel 6 Studios in downtown Tulsa on Frankfort Ave. Film shows news department and other TV station offices and TV personalities. Includes Bill Pitcock, Bob Brown, Mack Craeger, Lee Woodward and Lionel and female weather person. KOTV brought television to Tulsa in 1949. The station was owned by oilman George Cameron and Maria Helen Alvarez became the first woman General Manager. They converted the old International Harvester Dealership into one of the largest TV studios in the country. By 1951, the station would boast the first mobile unit. It was a refurbished bread truck that was basically a TV station on wheels. The first breaking news would take place in 1952 when KOTV reportedly rolled a TV camera onto the roof and broadcast the Tulsa Coliseum fire live.
