I find it quite interesting that as late as 1989, none of the OKC area systems carried MTV! That is odd for a fairly large metro area.

On a similar note, I wonder what the cable penetration rate in Oklahoma City was in 1989. With the flat terrain and tall TV towers on the north side of town, just about everyone in the market should have had easy reception with rabbit ears. When I lived in OKC for a short time in 2017, all the DTVs came in perfectly with an indoor antenna - I never had cable.
