(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) Regina Moon and Rob Krier, Vice Presidents and General Managers of Griffin Communications' three television stations in Oklahoma were named Vice Presidents and Chief Operating Officers this week. The new titles reflect their growth in assuming long-term strategic leadership of their respective companies.
"Rob and Regina have both developed from managing their television stations to strategic leadership positions," said President and Chief Executive Officer David Griffin. "They are fully responsible for building long-term value of their companies in addition to leading our efforts to distribute content over multiple platforms."
Regina Moon became the leader of The News On 6 (KOTV) in Tulsa in 2001, shortly after Griffin purchased that television station. In 2005, she assumed responsibility for a second station in Tulsa, CW12/19 (KQCW) after Griffin purchased it from Cascade Broadcasting. Moon previously held General Manager positions for stations in Missouri and Kansas. Moon is also a native Oklahoman whose hometown is Prague.
Rob Krier heads News 9 (KWTV) in Oklahoma City. Krier has worked for the company 33 years as Sales Account Executive, National Sales Manager and Director of Sales before being named to his current post in 2000. Krier is a native of Muskogee, Oklahoma.
"We are fortunate to have two outstanding leaders of dedicated employees who make both News 9 and The News On 6 consistently number one in their respective markets, and among the highest-rated television stations in the country," said Griffin. "Their leadership will help our company evolve from traditional information distribution to multi-platform distribution. We want to serve Oklahomans' information needs when they want it and over whatever device they choose-television, radio, Internet or mobile."
