CBS Radio/New York Senior VP/Market Manager Don Bouloukos is retiring from the company, effective June 2014, after a career in broadcasting that spanned more than four decades. Executive VP/Operations Scott Herman will assume Bouloukos responsibilities. Bouloukos first joined CBS Radio in 1998 following the acquisition of American Radio Systems (ARS) where he was Co-COO. Bouloukos was named Senior VP/MM of the New York in October, 2007. Prior to that, he served as Senior VP/Mid-Size Markets, Eastern Region.

"It is never an easy decision to leave an industry you love, and a company and cluster of stations that have been such an important part of your life," said Bouloukos. "But after 41 years, it is time. I've been very fortunate to work for a company that allows you to operate stations as if they were your own and I take great pride in what we have been able to accomplish over the years."

"Don is a consummate broadcaster whose contributions to the radio industry have made an indelible impact on the many stations he has directly worked with, and many more who have learned from his insight and guidance," said President/CEO Dan Mason. "He has served as a trusted advisor and friend to the entire radio community while helping shape the medium as we know it today. All of us at CBS RADIO have been fortunate to work alongside him and wish him well as he concludes this chapter of an illustrious career."

Since 2007, Scott Herman has been tasked with overseeing operations of CBS Radio's portfolio of stations spanning across more than 25 markets and including various formats. His first corporate appointment for CBS Radio was in 2003 when he was named Executive VP/Eastern Region. Before that, he was Senior VP/MM for the division's New York properties. Herman was VP/GM WINS-AM from 1994-2003, and WNEW-FM on two different occasions during the 90s.

"They don't come much better than Don Bouloukos," said Herman. "I'm extremely thankful for his friendship and all his years of wisdom, guidance and stewardship of many of our great radio stations."
