KPTV Specials
Through the years, KPTV created
many programs that aired on a limited or "OTO" (one time only)
basis. Either produced in the studio, or from another location with
the aid of the KPTV Remote Truck, these programs offered viewers a glimpse
into special events, topics of local interest or regional sports.
