* Diane Sutter has been named president of Shamrock Holding’s new television division.

The move was apparently designed to increase Shamrock’s television station ownership. Shamrock Holdings Inc. is a Burbank investment firm owned by Roy E. Disney and his family. Roy E. Disney is a nephew of Walt Disney.

Sutter joined Shamrock in 1984, and most recently was executive vice president of operations for Shamrock Broadcasting, which manages Shamrock’s radio station holdings.

Shamrock owns two Texas television stations, ABC affiliate KXXV in Waco, and CBS affiliate KTAB in Abilene.
