2nd ID (1987-1998)


Visuals: Over a black/gray gradient background are "OKLAHOMA" and "NETWORK", both in silver, zoom out tilted and tilt into its correct angle. There is also a red outline of the map of the United States, "An OETA Production" wipes in and we see the outline flash where Oklahoma is located, revealing the map shape in red. It flashes one more time.

Variant: Sometimes, the text "An OETA Production" would be omitted.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A jazz fanfare. For the production variant, a whoosh was included.

3rd ID (1998-)


Visuals: On a gray background with a light passing over it is "OETA", with a gold outline, zoom out very slowly. "THE OKLAHOMA NETWORK" zooms out rapidly below "OETA".

It starts to zoom out and turn as "THE OKLAHOMA NETWORK", now in Copperplate Gothic and in gold, zoom out spread apart before coming in and resting below the logo. It all zooms out as "IN HIGH DEFINITION" appears below and compresses in as the light moves to the right side of the screen.
