CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus will step down from his post in 2024, and will be succeeded by David Berson
, the unit of the president. McManus will wind up a tenure that had him overseeing some of the most prized sports properties in TV, as well as CBS News for a brief period.
“Leading CBS Sports has been an honor and I have been so fortunate to work with the most talented team in sports media, along with our incredible partners, for nearly three decades. It has been a fantastic run and the thrill of a lifetime,” said McManus, in a statement. “I am pleased to leave CBS Sports in an even stronger place than when I arrived, knowing that all of our marquee properties are locked up through this decade and beyond.
McManus departs as more traditional media companies are navigating new pressures when it comes to maintaining their sports rights. The NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL are on the hunt for new digital extensions that will help them reach younger consumers. At the same time, the leagues crave the big audiences that flock to traditional sports broadcasts.
