Greg Bilte has been named general manager at KOKI-KMYT Tulsa, which Cox Media Group (CMG) acquired in 2012. Suzanne Nadell is the new news director at the Fox-MyNetworkTV duo.

Bilte succeeds Holly Allen atop the stations; Allen has left the company. He and Nadell will also work with Cox's radio and cable properties in DMA No. 59.

"We are thrilled that we can tap such phenomenal internal talent for these important leadership positions at our newest TV brands," said CMG executive VP of broadcast Bill Hoffman. "Greg and Suzanne will play pivotal roles in leading the professionals at KOKI and KMYT to continue informing, inspiring, entertaining and improving the Tulsa community."

Bilte was director of sales at KTVU-KICU San Francisco-Oakland. "This is a great opportunity to be part of Cox Media Group's growth in the Tulsa broadcast market and to lead a team that is truly dedicated to its audience and customers," said Bilte.

Nadell most recently was an executive producer at CMG's WSB Atlanta. "I'm excited about the opportunity to become part of the KOKI news team and Tulsa community," said Nadell. "I also look forward to joining an already strong news team. We'll work together to serve the community by delivering news that's important to the community plus the most accurate weather information to keep families safe."
