CBS News Radio Vice President and General Manager Craig Swagler is exiting the outlet.
In an internal memo, Swagler told staffers he is relocating to Baltimore to be closer to his family.
“I am incredibly thankful for my time here and all the amazing people I have had the honor to work with at CBS News,” Swagler wrote to employees. “There are far too many individuals to name, but I know you all have made the last 22 years one of the most fulfilling parts of my professional journey.
“I grew up at CBS News, and leaving is hard, but new starts are exciting. I will miss all of you and your constant professionalism and dedication to the craft of broadcast news. I am a lifelong listener of CBS News Radio and will always tune in. Hoping Nielsen sends me a meter, as I will always be listening.”
He served as General Manager for CBS News Radio from 2017 until being promoted to Vice President in 2019. He began his tenure with the outlet in 2002 as a producer, and rose to Executive Producer in 2009.
Swagler’s last day with CBS News Radio will be Friday, July 14th.
