Broadcast veteran Mark Antonitis has been named vice president and general manager at KTXD Dallas, an independent station owned by London Broadcasting.

Antonitis had been president and general manager at KRON from 2004 to 2008. In 2010, he joined media consultancy CJ&N as a principal, heading up its business development and service innovation efforts.

Antonitis also ran KELO Sioux Falls and KWQC in the Quad Cities.

"This is an exciting opportunity. It's the kind of challenge I've been preparing for my entire career," said Antonitis. "I'm particularly happy it's coming with an innovative and growing company like London Broadcasting."

KTXD has assembled a who's who of past Dallas anchor greats for its The Texas Daily current events show. The station also shows Me-TV programming.

"All of us at London Broadcasting feel that Mark is uniquely qualified for the Dallas leadership position and we feel fortunate to employ Mark with his years of experience in large market television," said Philip Hurley, London executive VP and COO.
