SERVING OKLAHOMA for more than
100 years
The Griffin roots go back more than 100 years and the
business can be traced back to radio in the 1930s, but television changed everything
when KWTV signed on December 20, 1953.
From those pioneering roots, Griffin Media outreach has grown and led to
numerous "firsts." These include:
- The world's tallest tower (1,565 feet)
- Oklahoma's first color radar & the first commercial Doppler
radar nationwide
- Oklahoma's first news helicopter & the first full HD
news-gathering helicopter in the country
- First use of StreetScope for television in the nation
- First broadcast automated weather warning system in the
country
- First station to gather video from cellular telephones,
capturing pictures of a large tornado east of Enid
Not one to rest on their laurels, Griffin Media continues to innovate and lead while
drawing on the lessons of the past.
