CBS Radio inks Michael Martin to a multi-year contract renewal as the company's Senior VP/Programming and Music Initiatives and Program Director at CHR KMVQ-FM and Hot AC KLLC-FM/San Francisco. Martin also serves as CBS Radio's Top 40 format captain. Martin joined CBS Radio in 2009 following a career managing the operations and programming for a number of stations in Los Angeles and San Francisco, including serving as Program Director of KYSR-FM, KMEL-FM, KYLD-FM and KIOI-FM.

"Since the creation of this important position less than three years ago, Michael has reshaped and evolved the dynamic partnership between our stations, artists, labels and managers," said CBS Radio Executive VP/Programming Chris Oliviero. "His leadership, his relationships and his respected reputation has helped rewrite the playbook on how radio continues to create for fans many of the best and most memorable moments in music."

"Michael is a true programming leader-a skillful music curator and content creator who keeps our listeners engaged, which in turn drives ratings and builds ad revenue," said Doug Harvill, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, CBS RADIO San Francisco. "We're incredibly lucky to have him."

"I'm incredibly proud to be part of this amazing team with Chris Oliviero and Andre Fernandez at the helm," said Martin. "Every day I get to do what I love and I get to do it with the best in the business. I'm excited about what's around the corner and am so glad I'm a part of it!"

Martin began his career as Music Director of KIIS-FM and would later be named Senior Vice President for Clear Channel's West Coast programming operations, and Operations Manager of the Los Angeles cluster of stations.
