it had aired after its 10:00 p.m. newscast since 1989 (it also aired The Pat Sajak Show on such a delay for the same reason during the 1989–90 season, when KWTV resumed clearance of CBS' late night block, which had aired instead on Fox affiliate KAUT [channel 43, now an independent station] the season prior). Channel 9 would eventually give in to airing the Late Show in its network-designated 10:35 timeslot in September 1994; The Price Is Right and The Young and the Restless, however, would continue to air on a delayed basis until both shows returned to their recommended 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. respective timeslots in September 2000.

From 2000 to 2011, KWTV served as the broadcast home for Oklahoma State Cowboys and Cowgirls basketball games under an agreement with Oklahoma State University's Cowboys Sports Network syndication service; the station typically broadcast around three regular season games each year during the run of the contract, which usually aired on a Wednesday or Saturday during prime time. In August 2013, channel 9 obtained the local television rights to broadcast NFL preseason games involving the St. Louis Rams produced by the team's in-house syndication service, the Rams Television Network; for the
