KWHB, virtual channel 47 (UHF digital channel 48), is a LeSEA owned-and-operated television station licensed to Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. Owned by the LeSEA Broadcasting Corporation, KWHB maintains studio facilities located on South Memorial Drive (just east of the Chimney Hills addition) in southeastern Tulsa, and its transmitter is located near South 273rd Avenue East and the Muskogee Turnpike (near Broken Arrow) in southeastern Tulsa County. On cable, the station is available on Cox Communications channels 7 and 1007.
The station first signed on the air in 1985 as KTCT (the callsign is believed to stand for "Tulsa Christian Television"); originally operating as a religious independent station, it was founded by Coit Drapery and Cleaners, Inc. Channel 47's initial schedule consisted of Christian programming from the PTL Satellite Network, including shows such as The PTL Club, Heritage Village USA and 100 Huntley Street, as well as programs from televangelists such as Kenneth Copeland, Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart and Richard Roberts.
