Rob Morris is appointed VP/Programming for CBS Radio's cluster of stations in Miami, including WPOW-FM, WKIS-FM and WQAM-AM. The company recently acquired the Miami stations as part of a swap with Beasley Broadcasting. This marks the first time CBS Radio has owned stations there. Morris most recently served as VP/Programming for CBS Radio's former stations in Tampa. Prior to joining the Tampa cluster in July, Morris was Operations Manager and Program Director for CBS Radio's Minneapolis stations KZJK-FM and KMNB-FM since 2012.

Senior VP/Market Manager Joe Bell said, "Today marks a new beginning for our cluster of stations in Miami and I'm thrilled to be working with Rob and the great management team at CBS Radio. We have built a solid foundation in the market with a history of community service and programming excellence. We look forward to the extensive array of assets and expertise that CBS Radio brings to our operations which will ultimately benefit the listener and our advertisers."

For 17 years before he joined CBS Radio, Morris was Music Director, Assistant Program Director, Program Director and later Operations Manager for iHeartMedia in Minneapolis. During that time KDWB won three Marconi Awards.
