KOKI-TV (channel 23) is a television station in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States, airing programming from the digital multicast network Roar. It is owned by Rincon Broadcasting Group and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside KTUL (channel 8), an affiliate of ABC and Fox, and KMYT-TV (channel 41), an independent station with MyNetworkTV. The three stations share studios on East 27th Street and South Memorial Drive (near W. G. Skelly Park) in the Audubon neighborhood of southeast Tulsa; KOKI-TV's transmitter is located on South 273rd East Avenue (between 91st Street South and 101st Street South, next to the Muskogee Turnpike) in the western city limits of Coweta.

It competed with channel 41, then known as KGCT and KTFO, throughout the 1980s and 1990s but was the stronger station in ratings and programming. In 1986, it became Tulsa's first affiliate of the Fox network. Tulsa 23 sold KOKI-TV to Clear Channel Television in 1989. Under Clear Channel, whose radio division owned stations in Tulsa, channel 23 became profitable with the growth of the Fox network. The operation expanded with control and a later purchase of channel 41 as well as the 2002 debut of a local news department. Initially producing just a 9 p.m. newscast, the station steadily expanded news coverage under the successive ownerships of Clear Channel, Newport Television, and Cox Media Group. Cox sold KOKI-TV and a number of smaller-market stations to Imagicomm Communications in 2022, and in 2025 Rincon Broadcasting Group acquired part of Imagicomm's portfolio. Rincon sold the Fox affiliation in February 2026 to Sinclair Broadcast...
