David Loving named general manager of KHOU-KTBU Houston

David Loving begins as president and general manager of KHOU-KTBU Houston on May 20. He comes from WOI-KCWI Des Moines, where he was general manager. Both duopolies are part of Tegna.

Robert Springer was the former general manager of KHOU-KTBU.

Loving knows Houston well, having served as president and general manager of Univision’s KXLN from 2010 to 2019.

“Among a large pool of candidates, David stood out for his understanding of what ‘Defending Houston’ really means,” said Brad Ramsey, senior vice president of media operations at Tegna. “His prior experience in Houston is invaluable and I’m excited to see what he and the talented KHOU team can accomplish together.”

Loving graduated from Texas A&M University. He spent 28 years in various positions in Houston, Austin and San Antonio, and was a board member of the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the US Gulf Coast Chamber and the Texas Association of Broadcasters.

“Returning to Houston, one of the greatest cities in the United States, fills me with immense excitement,” he said. “Teaming with the exceptional professionals at KHOU, I look forward to reconnecting with Houston’s vibrant community and valued customers and celebrating the rich diversity that makes the city truly exceptional.”

KHOU is the CBS affiliate in DMA #8.
