the television station in Tulsa, Oklahoma

KTPX TV (channel 44) is a television station licensed to Okmulgee, Oklahoma, United States, serving as the Ion Television outlet for the Tulsa area. It is owned and operated by the Ion Media subsidiary of the E. W. Scripps Company alongside NBC affiliate KJRH TV (channel 2). KTPX TV's offices are located on East Skelly Drive in Tulsa, and its transmitter is located near Mounds, Oklahoma.

The station first signed on the air on July 3, 1997, as KGLB TV; it originally carried programming from Paxson Communications' infomercial service, the Infomall Television Network (inTV). The station became a charter owned and operated station of Pax TV (now Ion Television) when the network launched on August 31, 1998; on January 13 of that year, the station changed its call letters to KTPX TV (the KTPX calls were previously used by NBC affiliate KWES TV in Midland, Texas from 1981 to 1993).

On September 24, 2020, the Cincinnati based E. W. Scripps Company announced that it would purchase Ion Media for $2.65 billion, with financing from Berkshire Hathaway. The purchase made KTPX TV a sister station to NBC affiliate KJRH TV (channel 2). The sale was completed on January 7, 2021. On February 27, 2021, KTPX DT2 began to simulcast KJRH's main schedule, and was re mapped to channel 2.11.

KTPX airs the entire Ion schedule and since the repeal of the Main Studio Rule, it carries the network without any local content outside of an hourly on screen station identification; the station is also not currently used by KJRH to carry preempted NBC and syndicated programming.

KTPX TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 44, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre transition UHF channel 28, using virtual channel 44.
