After six years as President of CBS Local Digital Media, Ezra Kucharz is leaving the post on May 6. He's transitioning into the role of special advisor to the CEO. No word yet on whether CBS Radio will replace Kucharz. The move follows the exit of Senior VP of Communications Karen Mateo after 13 years with the company last week. In recent weeks, CBS let it be known that it intended to spin-off the radio business.
"I love this place and team, but I do believe that the time has come for me to explore my next chapter. I'm excited that I will have the opportunity to pursue my other interests while still being part of the company," said Kucharz.
Kucharz was the recipient of the 2012 Borrell Award of Merit. Kucharz, who oversaw the development and expansion of digital ventures at CBS's radio and TV stations, was recognized for "intelligence, innovation and most of all the execution of strategies within a big legacy media company."
