Dan Mason Biography :

Dan Mason serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of CBS RADIO. In this role, he oversees CBS RADIO's 144 stations, as well as the day-to-day operations of the division.

Mason returned to CBS RADIO after serving as an adviser and consultant to CBS and other domestic and international companies in the radio broadcasting industry for the past five years. Prior to that, Mason was President of CBS RADIO from 1995-2002. As the executive responsible for operating the group's then 184 stations in the largest markets across the United States, Mason successfully integrated the original CBS, Group W, Infinity Radio and American Radio Systems stations, among the most venerable radio broadcasting groups in the country, by merging operations, blending business styles and increasing profitability.

Mason joined Westinghouse as President of Group W Radio in 1993. He began his career in radio in 1975 at WZGC-FM in Atlanta. In 1977, he moved to WPGC-FM in Washington, D.C., where he was that station's Program Director as well as National Program Director for First Media, the parent company. In 1979, at the age of 27, he was named Vice President/General Manager of KTSA/KTFM in San Antonio. Mason later returned to First Media where he was named Executive Vice President. When First Media became Cook Inlet Radio Partners, he was named that organization's President in 1988.

A native of Louisville, Ky., Mason graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in broadcasting, and was recently given an honorary Doctorate of Humanities from that institution. In 1995, EKU named Mason "Outstanding Alumnus of the Year," and Radio and Records honored him as Radio Executive of the Year. Additionally, he is an honorary trustee of the Foundation of American Women in Radio and Television.

He has two sons and is based in New York City.
