Gannett's broadcasting division just named Anita Helt president and general manager of ABC television affiliate KXTV of Sacramento, Calif., in a statement that doesn't answer an obvious question: Who is she replacing at the top?
[Updated at 1:31 p.m. ET: Central Valley Business Times reported Aug. 30 that then-GM Russell Postell had resigned. "Neither the station, nor its owner, Gannett has had official comment,'' the publication said. "Phone calls and e-mails have not been returned. Postell was promoted to the station’s top job in February 2001 after seven years in its sales department."]
Helt was vice president over marketing and programming for KPNX, Gannett's NBC affiliate in Phoenix. She joined KPNX in 1995 as a special projects manager, the statement says. Prior to relocating to Phoenix, Helt was responsible for media and public relations for the state of Kansas. She also has experience as an anchor/reporter.
