Sinclair expands Oklahoma sports coverage with launch of ‘Oklahoma Overtime’

OKLAHOMA CITY and TULSA, Okla. — Sinclair announced the launch of “Oklahoma Overtime,” a new live, statewide sports program that premiered last night on KOKH FOX 25 in Oklahoma City and NTUL (KTUL.2) FOX 23 in Tulsa.

Airing weeknights from 10:30 to 11:00 p.m. CT, Oklahoma Overtime will bring together Sinclair’s statewide sports team, Colby Daniels, Spenser Tilus, Camryn Johnson and Stone Webber to cover the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, the University of Tulsa, the Oklahoma City Thunder, high school sports and other major sports stories from across the state.

By combining the resources and local expertise of Sinclair’s Oklahoma City and Tulsa content centers, “Oklahoma Overtime” will create a statewide sports conversation while maintaining a strong local focus in each market.

Designed to go beyond the traditional scores-and-highlights format, “Oklahoma Overtime” will emphasize personality, reaction and audience participation and storylines viewers cannot get anywhere else. The program is being built as a fast, local and interactive 30-minute show, incorporating elements including fan reaction, polls, social media comments and real-time conversation.

“Sports are a huge part of the identity of Oklahoma, and ‘Oklahoma Overtime’ gives us an opportunity to cover that passion in a bigger and more connected way every night,” said Mark Martin, vice president and general manager, KOKH/KOCB/KTUL/NTUL/KOKI/KMYT. “At a time when sports coverage is becoming more limited in many places, we are investing in it. By bringing together our teams in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, we can deliver deeper local coverage, a statewide perspective, and more opportunities for fans to engage.”

“Oklahoma Overtime” airs weeknights from 10:30 to 11:00 p.m. CT on KOKH FOX 25 in Oklahoma City and NTUL (KTUL.2) FOX 23 in Tulsa.
