Nothing is more important to OETA than protecting the private information of visitors to our site. Below you'll find information about our commitment to ensuring the privacy of your and your children's personally identifiable information (such as your full name, address, email address, telephone number and/or other identifying information) and preserving the integrity of the medium.
Please read the following carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, please send us an email.
Gathering and Use of Information
The Oklahoma Educational Television Authority and the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority Foundation, Inc. (together refered to as OETA) will never willfully disclose any personally identifiable information about our online audience to any third party without first receiving the user's permission. We do not collect personally identifiable information from our visitors other than what is supplied to us on a voluntary basis.
Visitors to the OETA Web Site may voluntarily supply certain personally identifiable information in connection with (i)contest or sweepstakes registration, (ii) subscription registration for sites or services which require subscription (such as email newsletters), (iii) requests for membership information and (iv) e-commerce transactions. In addition, personally identifiable information is voluntarily provided in connection with certain content submissions, community postings (i.e., forums or bulletin boards), comments and suggestions, or voting.
OETA and its related organizations may use such information only for conducting the activities stated above, for internal marketing and promotional purposes, or, on occasion, when mailing lists are made available to other organizations. (The occasional provision of mailing lists to such organizations is the only case where such information would be provided to third parties). For more information regarding OETA's policies on the handling and use of OETA's membership list, please refer to your OETA Membership packet. The extent of such use is always explained at the time a site visitor provides such information. If the visitor does not want this information collected and used by us for the disclosed internal purposes, the visitor is given an opportunity to "opt-out." Our visitors need to recognize, however, that under certain circumstances, if they select to "opt-out" they may not be eligible for certain activities for which the personally identifiable information is needed. (For example, if a contest participant elects to "opt-out" on permitting us to collect and use their personal information, we cannot contact them if they win without using such information.)
Because the transfer of data over the Internet can possibly be intercepted by third parties not related to OETA, and private or sensitive communication is susceptible to security breaches outside of our control, OETA cannot be held responsible for the interception of data in transit between OETA's Website and our Visitors.

Coming Up:
Week of February 13, 2010
This week’s Tulsa Times features the big changes coming to the Brady Arts District. It is using a combination of philanthropic money, state and federal tax credits and historic district designations to reinvent itself as an urban oasis where people can easily walk from home to work and to lots of entertainment venues. We will give you a tour including a glimpse into some hip new loft apartments created in an historic building.
The Brady Distrct is also becoming a one of the greenest renovations in the state because at its heart will be a new central park that will have lots of geo-thermal wells underneath to provide heating and cooling for the Matthews Building, and eco-friendly solar and LED lighting above to brighten the night. The Matthews Building will become the cultural hub of the district housing the Philbrook Museum’s Adkins Southwestern Art Collection as well as providing space for Gilcrease Museum and TU and the Arts and Humanities Council.
We’re also featuring Ft. Gibson’s efforts to find alternative funding to make up for the loss of state money that normally finances its operations. We will take you on a tour of Ft. Gibson which is Oklahoma's oldest town. The log fort's rough hewn rooms provided protection for soldiers, settlers and native american tribes being removed to Eastern Oklahoma. It provided a place for people moving west to trade. It was also a place to lock up outlaws. Today it is a tourist attraction that gives the town revenue thoughout the year.
Week of January 30th, 2010
The winter weather is welcomed by one industry in this state. Kenneth Beaty has been delivering propane to rural homes and businesses in Northeast Oklahoma for a quarter of a century and with the temperatures in the deep freeze he has been working up to 16 hours a day delivering to customers who are using more propane than normal. Cathy Tatom goes on the winter road to show you the fuel needs in rural Oklahoma.
Tulsa Public Schools have added more training sessions to get volunteers trained to serve for free as substitute teachers in the classroom. Tulsa School Superintendent Keith Ballard has eliminated paid substitue postions because of state budget cuts and he is hoping the community will pitch in to help. Substitues don't have to have any teaching experience and they don't have to have a college degree. The must however, pass a background check and complete three hours of training.
The town of Picher is no more. But before it officially ceased to exist leaders there pooled the city's remaining funds and gave an endowment of more than a half a million dollars to Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in Miami. The money will be used by the school to preserve Picher's history and to give scholarships to young people who were some of picher's last residents. Picher was once a thriving mining town but in recent times it has been known as one of the worst polluted land in the nation and was declared the Tar Creek Superfund Site by the Environmental Protection Agency.
