We are saddened that CHRIS is leaving the company but wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Our programming organization will remain the best in the industry. We are blessed to have a terrific group of program directors across the country and an outstanding leadership team led by our Pres./Programming PAT PAXTON and SVP/Radio and Radio.com Programming JEFF SOTTOLANO.

OLIVIERO told ALL ACCESS, "From my very first day as an intern and over the past 22 years, my experience at CBS RADIO has been nothing short of spectacular. Now that our merger with ENTERCOM is fully integrated, I feel this is the right moment to begin turning my focus to new opportunities. DAVID FIELD has been fully supportive and understanding of my departure, and I thank him for my smooth transition. It has been my true honor and joy to have had a chance to partner with and learn from the best and brightest programmers in the industry. Though our days as colleagues might be winding down, the friendships will continue. So, to all my old friends at CBS RADIO, along with my new ones at ENTERCOM, I wish you all the best."
