KTVQ (channel 25) was a television station in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States, which operated from November 1, 1953, to December 15, 1955. The station was owned by the Republic Television and Radio Company. KTVQ's studios were located on Northwest 19th Street and North Classen Boulevard in northwest Oklahoma City's Mesta Park neighborhood (in a building that presently houses a commercial retail complex), and its transmitter was located atop the First National Bank Building on North Robinson and Park avenues in downtown Oklahoma City.
Two years after the station ceased operations due to financial difficulties that led to KTVQ's bankruptcy, Republic Television and Radio sold the UHF channel 25 license and construction permit to Independent School District No. 89 of Oklahoma County (now Oklahoma City Public Schools) in July 1958; the school district launched a new station on that channel, KOKH-TV, in February 1959.
