CBS RADIO has named CHAD FITZSIMMONS to the newly created position of Dir./Music Initiatives effective immediately.  Working with the Company's nearly 85 major-market music radio stations, its array of digital assets, and CBS-owned television stations across the country, FITZSIMMONS will develop and launch a variety of unique partnership opportunities for record labels.

"We’re delighted to name CHAD to this exciting new position which will maximize exposure for artists on our stations, and elevate our ability to execute larger than life programs across the full spectrum of our portfolio," said STRASSELL.

He knows what it takes to drive the best results for an artist using the powerful platform of radio."

"Strengthening radio and records symbiotic relationship has countless benefits -- the most important being what these new initiatives will provide for the fans," said Pres./CEO DAN MASON.
