His successor will be David Berson, who has been president of CBS Sports for over 10 years. “The reaction has been very positive, so I feel good about everything,” McManus said. McManus was president of CBS News and CBS Sports from 2005 through 2011 before being named CBS Sports Chairman in February 2011.
