David Berson has been named president of CBS Sports.
In his new role, he will continue to report to Sean McManus, chairman of CBS Sports, and will be involved in all aspects of CBS Sports’ day-to-day management. He will also also continue to lead CBS Sports Network, the company’s cable sports channel.
McManus previously served as president, but no one has filled the position since he was named chairman February 2011.
“David’s contributions and expertise in all areas of our business, including programming, production and business affairs, have managed to exceed our high expectations since he joined CBS Sports,” said McManus.
