Justin Riggan has been named vice president and general manager at KIDY San Angelo and KXVA Abilene. Both stations are Fox affiliates with MyNetworkTV subchannels.

Riggan comes from KYTX Tyler, also part of the London Broadcasting group, where he was general sales manager.

"We are extremely pleased to have someone of Justin's character and experience on our management team," says Phil Hurley, London executive VP and COO, "and are very happy to provide this opportunity of increased responsibility to him."

London acquired the stations in a deal with Bayou City Broadcasting in September.  

Riggan hails from West Texas.

"It's a wonderful feeling to be part of a first class Texas company like London Broadcasting and I am thrilled to expand my leadership responsibilities as general manager," he said.
