Talk:KOCO-TV

OTA channels
I can only get the channel on 7.3 (Abc HD) and 7.4 (This TV). I don't know why everywhere on the internet only says 5.1 and 2 and 7.1 and 2. I won't change it because I'm relavitely new to the area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Osfn8 (talk • contribs) 23:06, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
