KSWO-TV, ABC television affiliate in Lawton, Oklahoma, United States
KSWO-TV is a television station in Lawton, Oklahoma, broadcasting news, weather, and programs to the western Texoma region on channel 7. The station operates from a facility on 60th Street, with its transmitter tower located southwest of the city to extend coverage across multiple towns.
The station began broadcasting on March 8, 1953, as the second station in the region, and built a transmission tower near Grandfield in the late 1950s to strengthen its signal. Over the decades, it transitioned from analog to digital broadcasting and became part of Gray Media while maintaining its focus on local news and weather coverage.
Current programs and news information are available on channel 7 or the subchannels carrying Telemundo and MeTV. Visitors may be able to observe studio activity during newscasts, particularly when weather alerts are active.
The weather team was the first in the area to use radar technology for tracking storms and warning residents in time. This pioneering role in weather reporting has earned the station high ratings over many years.
