On September 17, 2012, KSBI-DT2 discontinued the KXOC simulcast and became an affiliate of This TV. The network was in the process of being displaced from its original Oklahoma City affiliate, KOCO-TV, after its owner, Hearst Television, reached a long-term deal to carry MeTV (then a sister network to This TV under the ownership of the latter's co-founder, Weigel Broadcasting). Because the station's contract with MeTV did not take effect until October 1, KOCO-DT2 continued to serve as an interim This TV affiliate until September 30, after KSBI-DT2 became the network's primary Oklahoma City affiliate. As a This affiliate, KSBI-DT2 preempted some classic television series or movies that aired during the network's morning schedule (on weekdays from 4:00 to 6:30 (or 7:00) a.m. and weekends from 5:00 to 7:00 a.m., or as late as 8:00 a.m. on either day), in favor of carrying religious, lifestyle and comedy programs to which KSBI held the local syndication rights and infomercials (KSBI-DT2 also preempted This TV programs airing weekdays from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. from May to September 2013).
