CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus has known for over a year when he planned to retire and who would be his successor.
McManus will retire in April after 27 years in charge. His successor will be David Berson, who has been president of CBS Sports for over 10 years.
McManus, who will turn 69 in February, said he discussed his future plans with his bosses at Paramount Global, which owns CBS, last year and that the transition timeline has been in place for over a year. McManus has also kept the network's longstanding relationship with The Masters in tact. When CBS does next year's tournament, it will be the 68th straight year, making it the longest current relationship between a network and sporting event.
George Cheeks, president and chief executive officer of CBS, and chief content officer of news and sports at Paramount+ said in a statement: “Sean is a first-ballot, hall of fame executive who has masterfully managed all aspects of CBS Sports for 27 years and helped guide us through a transformative era in sports television."McManus was president of CBS News and CBS Sports from 2005 through 2011 before being named CBS Sports Chairman in February 2011.
