KOKI-TV
KOKI-TV, virtual channel 23 (UHF digital channel 22), is a Fox-affiliated television station licensed to Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. The station is owned by the Cox Media Group subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, as part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV-affiliate KMYT-TV (channel 41); KOKI and KMYT are, in turn, co-owned with local radio stations KRMG (740 AM and 102.3 FM), KRAV-FM (96.5), KWEN (95.5 FM) and KJSR (103.3 FM), as well as local cable television provider Cox Communications.
KOKI-TV
The slogan used to promote its film offerings from the station's sign-on until 1984, "Oklahoma's Movie Star" (based off the title of the station's "Movie Star" film presentations), would be the center of a federal trademark infringement lawsuit that Tulsa 23 Ltd. filed against Home Box Office Inc. in October 1982 in over the "We Are Your Movie Star" image campaign implemented by Cinemax earlier that year. James Ellison, the U.S. District Court judge presiding over the case in the Oklahoma Eastern District court, granted an injunction against Home Box Office in November 1983, on grounds that the Cinemax campaign infringed upon KOKI's trademark. HBO appealed the ruling in the Denver-based Tenth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which upheld Ellison's injunction order, forcing Cinemax to discontinue the campaign and begin developing a replacement on December 9.
