Today, Cox Media Group announced that Greg Bilte, vice president and general manager of CBS affiliate KIRO Seattle (DMA 13), will retire from the company, effective June 30. Bilte’s replacement at KIRO has not yet been named.
Bilte’s retirement concludes a 41-year career in television broadcasting that began in 1979 as an account executive for KXLY in Spokane, and culminated in leading KIRO in Seattle to achieve record ratings. In between these two roles, Greg worked for the national rep firm Telerep and also served as national sales manager for KTTV Los Angeles.
Bilte’s 25-year run with CMG began at KTVU San Francisco in 1995, where he was national and local sales manager before being promoted to general sales manager of sister station KICU, and eventually to the same role at KTVU.
