WKOI-TV, virtual channel 43 (UHF digital channel 39), is a TBN owned-and-operated television station licensed to Richmond, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. WKOI's studios are located on South 9th Street in Richmond, and its transmitter is located on SR 73 in Milford Township, Butler County, Ohio, near Collinsville, approximately halfway between Richmond and Cincinnati, providing coverage to Northern Kentucky, Greater Cincinnati and the Miami Valley in Ohio, and East Central Indiana, hence its callsign WKOI. Even though its transmitter is based within the Cincinnati television market, the station is officially assigned by Nielsen to the Dayton market.

Overview
WKOI carries TBN programming for much of its broadcast day, but breaks away from the network once a week for local community public affairs programming.
WKOI's programming was previously relayed on W20CL channel 20 in Springfield, Ohio and W36DG in Cincinnati. A deal was reached to sell W20CL (now WLWD-LD in Dayton) to Word of God Fellowship, owner of the Daystar Television Network, on March 19, 2010; W36DG would also be sold to Daystar, and is now WDYC-LD.

Digital television
This station's digital signal, like most other full-service TBN owned-and-operated stations, carries five different TBN-run networks.
TBN-owned full-power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on April 16, 2009.
WKOI-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 43, on that date. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 39. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 43.
On April 14, 2017, it was reported that WKOI-TV's over-the-air spectrum had been sold in the FCC's spectrum reallocation auction, fetching just over $20 million, with the station expected to go off the air.
