Michael Martin: Alternative
Mike Moore: Country
Reggie Rouse: Urban
Nikki Nite: AC

The Format Captains will report to President of Programming Pat Paxton and CBS Radio/soon-to-be Entercom EVP Programming Chris Oliviero.

In addition to his new duties, Martin will continue as SVP of Programming and Music Initiatives.

Oliviero issued remarks thanking erstwhile CBS Radio News/Talk format captain Steve Moore and Country format captain Tim Roberts.

"I did want to reach out to the News/Talk group specifically to publicly and properly thank Steve Moore for his many years of stewardship of the CBS Radio format," he said.

He also thanked Roberts "for his outstanding leadership as our Country Vice President at CBS Radio. As I said when we named Tim to this position there is no one in my mind who understands the audience, the artists and labels of Nashville today quite like Tim."
