* In the '''16 August 1978''' issue of ''Variety'' magazine (see [[United States--1978]]), "OKLAHOMA CITY" is named as one of 17 cities to have bought the series. The OETA is therefore one of the very first US stations to screen the [[Tom Baker stories]].
 
*'''7 October 1978''': The standard package of 23 [[Tom Baker stories]] begins screening, in a 9.00pm timeslot, with two episodes airing back to back. Stories were aired out of order, with [[Robot]] followed by [[Terror of the Zygons]].
 
*'''30 May 1981''': [[The Ribos Operation]] part 1 airs, Saturday, 10.00pm. The Oklahoma Educational TV Authority is the first US station to screen [[Tom Baker stories]] other than the original package of his first 23 stories (98 episodes) that had been on offer since 1978.
 
*This new package comprised seasons 16 to 18 ([[The Ribos Operation]] to [[Logopolis]]; 18 stories, 74 episodes) which had been released by the BBC in early-1981, just prior to Time Life's contract expiring and Lionheart taking over the distribution in the States.
 
*'''14-16 August 1981''': John Nathan-Turner and [[Peter Davison]] make their '''first-ever''' US convention appearances, in Tulsa. (Davison had just finished recording [[Kinda]].) And thus the rot set in...
 
*'''23 November 1983''': [[The Five Doctors]] airs.
 
*'''3 February 1986''': Weekday airings move from 10pm to 5:30pm.
 
*'''1987''': In early 1987, airings shift from daily to Saturdays.
 
*'''fall 1987''': [[The Caves of Androzani]] is the last episode aired by OETA.  The network never purchased the McCoy, Hartnell or Troughton packages, opting instead only to run Baker and Pertwees.
